Any Owners of '18~'22 Dodge Coupes ??

I recently picked up a 1922 Dodge 3w Dr Coupe & am leaning towards a Late '20's Early '30's Strip Down Build.

Bassically Stock with Extra weight (Fenders & Boards) Stripped off, Stock running gear, Lowered a bit & maybe a slight Chop just to bring down the TALL roof line.

I would like to see if anyone here has one of these Coupe's or has any parts they removed from an '18~'22 Dodge in a Hot Rod Build.

I would post a pic .... But Dont know how Any Help ?

 

No One has any Early Dodge Stuff ??

 

well I like to see a pic... so at the bottom of the page in stead of quick reply go to advanced..and go to manage files then up load your pic

 

OK we some pics cool car...from De soto..

 

Thanks Jamie for posting up pics of my '22 Dodge.

Now Ya All can see what it is .... Anything out there Ya wanna Share ?

Interested in seeing pics of Your Early Dodge or interested in your spare parts.

 

there is a 22 in the classifieds for sale but its completley done i sold it half finished it was way worse then what you have. the piece that is missing on your back was nailed on and didnt go all the way around. what ever the material the top was done out of filled in the gap also some wood and padding.1925 had a complete roof that was all steel hope this helps you out

 

Plowboys Tommy Gun? Wasn't that a 22 Dodge?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm I'll be back in a second to edit this thread!

It was originally a 4 door, Valentine and Plowboy reconfingered.......

Nope,
Thats a bit later ... 'Bout a '28

Build is a bit New Wave also, I am trying to go more late '20's
Early '30's Strip Down.

Even thinking of putting the fenders back on .....

 

Ack, nobody ever said I was good at identifying ANYTHING.

Wow, I can't even imagine..............but I also doubt anyone has many pics of them.

 

The roof was aluminum. I have a '24 coupe but it's stock so pics of it wouldn't help you. Does it run and drive? There are lots of DB owners in Calif. How about an underslung?

 

Even pics of a stocker would be Cool so i can see a Stock bodied one.

I need to see the back of the Cab Area.

No underslung, They get WAYYYY to Low for them Big wheels.

Engine looks like it has been rebuilt but not sure yet, Has all th drive train in it but is missing Brake rods & some Bolt ons from the engine.

I put '25 Dodge Front Shackles on the back which are about 1 1/2 inchs longer & switched the Rear End Floater to the top of the spring.. Lowered it alot.

You can see by the difference at the rear wheel well from pic 1 & 2.

Now i need to find someone that can drop the stock axle a few inches

 

Here's a couple of stockers. I really like them and have been keeping my eye out for an eary Dodge coupe, but there hard to come by.

 

I like it.

 

i like pic # 2 in the back yard,weld a bracket under the front axle and put it on top of the leif springs for a better stance.and no, i only have parts for 32/33 mopars.filthy frank.

 

Very cool, I've got an '18-'22 frame I'm using...

It's cool to see what a body would have looked like on top of it.. Didn't know the rear springs stuck out like that... That's pretty cool.

All I've got for one is the front axle and the hubs, and a rear axle with no center...

 

Drop the front about 2", finish the cab and take about 3" or 4" out and your done!

It looks and sits perfect as is.

 

I wouldnt weld & Flip the front axle ... Not enough room between Springs & frame.

I won't Notch the frame either, That set up looks HOKEY to me !

Thats the Plan ...

Going to see about dropping the front axle, Finish the Back of the Cab, Prime it one color & run it .... If the Banger comes to Life

 

Just like DE SOTO said, hardly any room for that axle once you flip it.. Pretty much the same out back too...

The rails I don't think are thick enough to cut into... and your basic up over and down notch would look like hell... but... If you took and measured the rails just after the front shackles, and just before the rears, and relief cut the hell out of a peice of square tube and bent it so it had a gradual swoop to clear the axle that wouldn't look bad.. But your basic simple notch wouldn't look right... And option 2 is alot of work... A dropped axle and if need be a couple of leaves removed would be perfect.

I'm thinkin' of tryin' the hard way out... All it takes is some square tubing and a lot of patience.. And if I don't like it the scrap trailer is a few feet away from the shop door..

 

Got a 1915 body but thats too old

 

That`ll be a neat thing to get around in Rick,
What sort of top speed are we looking at here mate ?

 

thats gonna be sweet!

 

I think 50 would be Pushin it !!!

I need to find some Old Timer Dodge guys & find the tricks.

I do understand these were faster than any "T" or "A" Fords, If that meens anything.

 

Any more info or Pics on These Old Coupes ?

 

Hey, I got that extra axel off for ya, Just haven't had a chance to snap a few pics... Just lettin' ya know I haven't forgot...

Oh did you want the hubs and all the steering linkage too? or just the axel?
