    Not a roadster, it's the front part of a touring car.
     
  3. Looks like the front of a Touring T,cut off with a pick-up bed stuck on. Not gonna have much trade value...

    And it's not a Ford, it's an early 20's Dodge. ;)

    I agree that it is Dodge Brothers touring car with Ford Model T bed grafted on it. I like it. Of course I have one.
     
  6. Yup.


    It is kinda cool tho. I would work with it!

    mocked it up a little. Im really liking it now. What do you think? I dont really want to put a dodge motor in it, but i know a hemi would look just right. Being because parts are so expensive and hard to get. I know a 350 small block would be really easy but it wont look traditional. I might as well put disk brakes in it if im gonna do that. Any ideas out there. Something cheap and easy that would look good with this body. What would you do if this was yours? Ive got plenty of help so labor isnt a issue. I dont have to much money, So i want to keep the cost down. Any ideas. Thanks

    Put an early Olds or a nailhead in it.
     
  13. If money is an issue and you want to remain traditional, why not a 283 Chev? Cheap, plenty of grunt in a bucket, and forget the discs, you can still do early Ford drums for a reasonable price.
     
  14. what about a slant 6, different, cheap and fun and that way you keep it mopar
     
  15. Didn't MOPAR make other motors besides the HEMI?

    If you want to put a v8 in it I'm sure you could pick up one of the "other" MOPAR v8s for the price of scrap.
     
  16. 225 318 360 all can be had cheeply or 340 383 440 not as cheeply

    It's PRE-'20 Dodge Brothers, because of the verticle windshield, not '17 or '18 because there's no glove box. Some of the holes in the dash are aftermarket.

    Wow, So many ideas. A 283 sounds ideal, With ford front drum breaks.
