Hello there, My name is Elvis and I live in Emerald Qld I'm currently building a 1939 Plymouth Hot Rod,. It started life as a 4 door sedan but am in the proces of converting it into a 5 window coupe that has the 36 Ford 5 window coupe look and not the 39 Plymouth 5 window coupe look. Pics to follow its going to run a 253 Holden on straight gas, automatic transmission unknown, VP Commodore rear end using the remade original leaf springs. Front end is HQ Holden stubs with a Commodore disc conversion kit 15'' rims and tyres all round. HT steering box or Commodore rack and pinion steering I'm going to use the original steering wheel and shaft with a universal joint fitted to connect to which ever steering box setup I use.I'm thinking the colour will be that new Ford blue colour with a set of series 61 Gragar chrome mags. Well thats about it, have already posted a question about coil springs and have plenty more to follow. Regards Elvis.     The coupe pics are just artwork pics done on the computer but its the look I'm going for. EAP

Hi OzChevy, No haven'nt considered the coil rear end.
I only want to use the leaf spring setup as I can use the original leaf spring setup it to look great. Its a big job if if look at the proces as a one off job but once broken up into different section
