Title: 1941 Ply Front clip first?
Post by: Billyboo on February 12, 2016, 10:58:25 PM
Hi Folks, Just starting on my teardown on 41 P-12. Should the front clip come off PRIOR to pulling engine? Forgive the ignorance, just never done this before!

My son and I pulled the front clip on my 1940 P-10 business coupe to pull the engine and tranny, much easier and more room to work

Thanks Bob, was concerned that the height of the front clip might be a little tough to get over safely.

Possible to do without any damage. If you do not have a few good friends to help, front clip should be pulled.

Bob, Got the whole clip off, then engine and transmission, dash and wiring. Just took off the last door, and the next big effort is removing the wood, door frames, roof et all. Still haven't been able to get my lighter piece off the back of my dash, am about to cut it off, cause have tried about everything else. Am enjoying your FB posts, keep Em coming. Will post a pic of my car on the Plymouth FB pages soon. Cheers, Billy
