      ​@themishapgarage3403And when edit 'em like that, it inspires folks like me to undertake a little piece'o'cake quickie project like this one! Think I'll take an old sofa that's been rotting in my back 40 for seven years now & throw it on top of the grocery cart I stole from my neighborhood Overweighty's back in '84, & rig up a chain drive from my dead Dad's green Lawnboy to them itty bitty back wheels! Not sure if I'll want to leave the wobble in the right front wheel or fix it or not. I think I'll leave it! Gives it character!

Ran into a lot of the same issues with width as you did but I went a different route and split the cab in half and widened it by 14 inches. I’m almost like 90% done and have drove it a few times and it’s awesome to have an old vehicle that drives like a new car really fun project.

    AWESOME! A 1948 Plymouth Deluxe 4-door sedan was my first car when I was a sophomore in high school. My best friend and I (we were 15) bought it out a junk yard for $100. We got all the manuals from Chrysler and rebuilt the engine and the transmission and did as much body work as we could. One of our friends' father ran a body shop and he did most of the the body repairs and paint job. If I remember, we put about $600 total into the car and drove it all through our Jr. and Sr. years. My parents gave me a new 1962 Ford Galaxie 500-XL convertible for a graduation present. I gave my share of the Plymouth to my friend.

    I had a 48 Plymouth 2 door, with a SBC, with N50-15 rear tires, giant ladder bars, and a home made tilt front end, I made from bolting the hood and fenders together, and hinging it from the bottom. It was a beast of the street in the mid '70's when I was in high school. I sold it to two guys that were all excited about restoring it all original, and were overjoyed when they saw it still had the original heater in it.
    I miss that car.
