B-bodies are on hold as this is my current project: Saving a 57 Coronet Club Coupe by essentially replacing the frame and entire bottom of the car with a donor 4-door 57 Custom Royal. So far, the floors have been swapped. Working on door bottoms right now.

Plan is for a classic mild custom: 440/speed, disc brakes, converted to 66-72 B torsion bars, tuck and roll style stock bench seat interior, lowered, wide whites, Lancer caps, ...shaving off all emblems and the hood spears. Still pondering paint decisions, other than I'd like it to go with a red interior.

that is such a cool looking chunk of steel, one of my all time favorite mopars
 
No picture, only memories. As a kid we had a '55 ply. green and black.
 
All works in progress, as all are recently acquired. The d 200 is a driver, The 59 custom royal has a 383 waiting to go in place of the locked 361. The 57 Desoto is the roughest. It sat alot of years, it has heavy corrosion on the crank as the oil pan was off. All floor and trunk pans need redone. I got the front drums off so it does roll now. Baby hemi or poly possibly at this point.

Not quite a 50's Mopar. It's a 48 Desoto. Sitting on a 2001 Dodge 2500 chassis.

All nice rides. The older I get the more I want an old 50''s Mopar. Always been more of a 60's & 70's muscle myself. Would love to find a 57-59 big finned Dodge, Desoto, Plymouth or Chrysler or an old 50's shop truck.
