This site is dedicated to the restoration of my 1963 Plymouth Savoy 2-door Sedan. Built in the era that cars still had some decent cubic inches and horsepower. Hail to all the Super Stock racers!

Rolled her outside
I put 15 inch steelies with NOS Goodyear Powerstreaks under the car last week.
Sun was shining, so I thought it was a good time to roll her outside.

Rear window and front windshield are in
Hans van Stokkum, of H & S paint ( who painted my car ) and my dad, mounted the front and rear window last week.
Doorpanels mounted!
me and Tommie worked our asses off to get the sidewindows and regulators in. Worked fine! And we mounted the doorpanels.
They needed some massaging to get in..but...who the hell doesn't!!

New shoes!
I had the wheels blasted and powdercoated satin black, and my buddy Davy painted the outside of the wheels glossy black ( as in the factory...yeah I know )
Davy also put on new skinny-ass tyres, 205/70/14...OMG those suckers will burn with that engine, a 4-speed and a 3.91 suregrip!!!

Dashboard painted Medium Blue
Hans van Stokkum, of H & S Paint, beadblasted, primered and painted my dashboard and stuff. He mixed a color, to duplicate the Original Plymouth Medium Blue metallic.
The guy is a magician.

Bench-work
JvH-Bekleding is gonna make some new fabric on the benches, from the NOS fabric I bought in the States a while back.
The original fabric was still on the seats, so Jan can use these as a template for the new covers.
The seatframes were in great condition, only some surfacerust, and needed one small spotweld on a spring that got loose.
They were beadblasted and painted.
