I bought this car as a project a few years ago. The previous owner already did the chop and the 4/2 door conversion. His plan was to build it for his shop, but plans changed, shop closed, and the project had to go.. Pascal, A good friend of mine helped me alot with the build. The floor needed some new metal. Pascal also changed the B and C-pillars, they were very rough. Technical is the car original, only changed from 6v to 12v. I'll keep the flat 6. I hope to get it on the road this year. Here are some pics from the previous owner.
Here's a picture of the car and it's first owner. (in the Netherlands) This is the only picture of the car the family found, with the family and the owner (dancing) in front of the car. Unfortunately the license plate is not visible, it still wears the original license plate.
That is just an outstanding looking Dodge!!! The chop and flow of the car are perfect. Most all MoPars have potential if well planned/thought out. Thanks for sharing.
I like the car, and the chop and a '53 Pontiac grille would look bitchin' in the car...but why is there primer showing thru the scallops...??? R-
I like the fact is shows what you can do with an oddball 4 door and make it cool as hell...great job.
...after seeing pictures of your car,it has my mind thinking of what I can do and the vision for my 54 dodge.The picture of her in the indoor car show is fantastic. Thanks for this post and pix!
Very rare...very cool ! Those '54 Dodges' that are left here in the U.S.A. are rare enough...let alone one in the Netherlands !! Great job...good luck with it from here on out ! Jonnie www.legends.thewwbc.net
