thatz4u Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 Tim Boyd in Dec. 1994 about restoring a Johan 1963 Chrysler 300. From the time I read it I read it, I started looking for a 63or 64 300, Got one finally in May, 2021, the car is now 58 years old. Here we go, first photos as as found, before swim in Purple Pond....

Tom Geiger Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 Keeping it box stock or updating it? Chassis wise the one under the Round Two 64 Plymouth / Dodge slides under old Johans like it came with it! Quote

Chassis wise the one under the Round Two 64 Plymouth / Dodge slides under old Johans like it came with it! updating this one Tom, the Johan chassis wheelbase is approx. 2 or 3 scale inches longer than the Plymouth, which means it won't work in this case...
