    The only fault I see here is that Cody is a man of few words. I know that these cars are very ugly stock. I see a car that does look like a Dodge coupe with a lot of metal being rearranged but without pictures of the original, it is really hard to see what is different - that is a compliment, by the way. Has it been shortened in the trunk? The ugly is coming off, but where did it go?

    Excellent work Cody...wondered what you'd do next after that magnificent '59 wagon...

    Birds of a feather...??? ColoRODo '47 Chrysler with chopped top and longer front clip...built in ColoRODo Springs by Greg Pittman...not near as much body work as you are going thru but still one of a kind...

    Well said. Seems like major changes are happening but they are also subtle in a way. Cody is a true humanitarian by saving the vision of those who may have seen the original. Thanks

    Sorry ,at times its hard for me to keep up with it all, I’m pretty much a one man band , my wife helps out , but I have 8 projects all going on at once . Some hamb friendly some not so much . With the trunk I took 3 “ out of it length wise and widened it 2”
    In the photos I just posted the last one shows the blueprint and what has been changed .

    It seems that the Dodge is looking a little more Plymouthy.

  20. Great work Cody. Ya remind me of Ian Rousell, he too is a one man operation. Speaking of the E job, how goes the progress.

    Bravo to you Cody, your work is magnificent.
    As my project gets underway, seeing your work on that 47 Dodge business coupe, really makes me smile.
