Customs Cody Walls builds 47 Dodge

Six months ago the owner of a 1947 Dodge Business Coupe approached me about finishing his project. The car was very near completion; the hood needed to be done but otherwise it was primed and ready for paint. It had been to many of different shops over a 10 period but the car never had a cohesive direction. This presented a challenge as ‘47 Dodge Business Coupes aren’t the most beautiful body designs, but I do love to be pushed creatively. To get this Dodge focused in the right direction I contacted Eric Black to design the body. There are countless modifications planned but in the end this will become a sleek and beautiful example of what a 40s Dodge should’ve looked like.

Just some of the non up to par metal work the previous shops did .

 

Outstanding as usual!

 

This is great, saw the design posted on Black's IG, glad you are having a construction thread!

Awesome! Love it!

 

Any renderings of the front and back treatments, or do we just have to stay tuned?

Either way, I'm subscribed!

Is a little diet in the plan also??

Yes there is , you’ll have to stay tuned . I don’t want to give away everything just yet . But needless to say we’re not going with the stock grill . And it’s definitely a great improvement over the stock front end . Trying to keep a much dodge as possible .

 

Yes there is

 

another Cody Walls piece of automotive art................( drooling waiting for more )

 

Some of the early shots reveal the attempt to weld with a hatchet! Nice save!

 

That’s just some , but there is a lot more I have to fix that I didn’t post . The bad part everything was covered in 1/2 of body filler and it was ready for paint.

 

Wow. Huge difference between reality and fantasy. Looking forward to your work and seeing the finished product. It came to the right guy.

 

on the fast track to Cool

You said "not up to par" like it was no big deal.......holy crap, my cat could do better.

Admire your abilities, though!

Wow, an awesome improvement and more to come. I'll enjoy watching this come together.

 

Your the man buddy put Milton on the map the body mods are off the wall, when you are finished every one will want one.

 

Hard to believe, anyone would spread that much mud and say it’s ready for paint!
Looking forward to see all of it! Awesome work your doing!

Cody's follow-up photos put me right back into my britches.
