    Awesome man! I scored a 41 Plymouth P11 Business coupe myself- little over a year ago. 201 was locked up solid but the original interior was perfect. It came with 60+ year old tires still on it, and inspection papers from the original owner from during the war. I put a rebuilt 218 from a 48 in it, put over 2000 miles on it since I got her roadworthy last May.

      That is awesome to hear! We hope to have this road worthy very soon. The next episode will be us cleaning the car up and trying to get it running.

      If you need any help, hit me up! I may not be close enough to help wrench, but I know a couple good old junkyards here in PA.

    Note to self: buy a winch for the Jeep, bring along the chain saw and other brush cutting tools. Non-rotating wheels require lots of power to move. Tires on grass equals not much for traction. Keep up the good work!

    This must of been one of your first "Barn Finds" because you would of known the wheels would of been locked up and would of had the proper tools to free them up. How was your friend's transmission did he have issues with it after this because pulling a locked up car is really hard on the transmission but anyway it's a cool car you're going to need a special hub puller tool to get the drums off that car you may be able to find one on Ebay. I have one but I got lucky because my father worked on cars and he had one so I did not have to find one but without it the drums are impossible to remove and even worst when they a stuck to the shoes

    • @MaffettMotorwerks
      @MaffettMotorwerks  Před 2 lety

      That is all super accurate! We defentlley had tools to break the wheels loose. We got all but one stubborn one loose on site. But man, we can’t thank you enough for checking this video out. And the Jeep has seen far worse before we used it to pull this car out haha 307k miles strong on that Jeep!

    Come on guys don't be hacks... take the brace off the air filter it's only one bolt. You have a really complete Coupe there. It's time for a serious tidy and an oil 'em up. If you start by cleaning all the electrical connections and make sure the starter motor has a good ground to the bell housing things shall go much smoother. Good luck with turning the engine over. Patience and leave the hammers to the carpenters.

      @MaffettMotorwerks  Před 2 lety

      The goal was to drive it out, but the motor was locked up, it was cold the day after Christmas and we were losing day light pretty quick. So we decided to take it out as is. We spent several hours trying to get it to at least turn over.
