Hot Rods DELETE This thread DELETE 1926 Dodge coupe build!

I figure everybody is building Model A's or T's! I think its time for something different.

Body=Needs some TLC...door is toast!

 

Model A frame. I Z'd the hell out of it!

 

A little inspirational drawing...

 

I'm in I love to build the different stuff that's what makes this hobby so cool. Man that pic is cool wish I could draw one for the 37 Plymouth I'm building subscribed ! Hobo Jim

 

The dodge should fit nice on the frame

 

might be li' l tuff ta open doors....

 

Hey Jim PM me some pics and i will see about doing a rendering of your ride!

 

HaHa...I will cut some holes in the doors! HaHa

 

more pics

 

more pics

 

That door can be saved.

 

Yes it can...and yes it will be saved!

 

Check out the red wheels, it must have been a Hot Rod once before...

It's amazing how close these bodies look, to a Model T.
I'm wondering why more don't get Hot Rodded.

 

PLEASE don't put a Ferd radiator shell on it!!

 

HaHa!

Yeah the Dodge Brothers used to work for Henry...and he pissed them off so they started their own company! The brothers were great designers! They took the Ford design with them!

 

I didn't think of that. Maybe it was a deliberate move to stick it to Henry.
I like the direction this build is going. How far along with the body, are you?

 

Awesome frame you have sir. I like that you z'd it front and back,creativity is sorely lacking these days (no offense). By the way what motor are you using? 318? 360 perhaps?

A little history on this frame...
My Dad welded 2 x 3 rec tube to model A front and rear cross member 30 years ago and i decided to resurrect it.

Then I screwed it all up! LOL

Before

Mock up on the leveling table


Cutting the frame

 

If the transmission in the picture is the one you're going to use, it's a C4 not a C6

 

Good eye bud... the c4 is just for mockup

 

The transmission mount looks like it's welded in and on a C6 its going to be further back.
