    How cool! On both counts. I for one think those bodies are better looking than the 32 Fords.
    congrats on your extended family!

    It really is a Dodge...Congrats on the the project front...your region certainly shares a huge similarity to ours looking at the body...we have it tough...:oops:

    I'm sure it was reflected in the costing of things...

    I guess the roofs are welded on similar principle to the method one would use in a typical chop...therefore the understandable assumption...

    Congrats on the family front as well...;)

    I'd be interested in buying your front fenders too if you don't run them. This is my project. I've been collecting for a couple years now. Finally have a beautiful grill and a couple of frames. Going to take both frames to make 1 good one. I've also been able to get some good doors and a couple of other things. Patience is key to building these Mopars. Screenshot_20180204-222159.png

    I suck at doing searches. I have a customers Model A coupster I am working on with a set on it. Somewhere on the HAMB, there is a tec of a guy making one. Then in the classifieds, sets being sold by the same guy. But these on the Model A are different.

    Great, I was hoping someone would buy that and build it. I have a soft spot for 33 Mopars. Here's my 33 Dodge Coupe.

    I think unchopped but perhaps roof was cut off and put back. Both doors are from a pickup or sedan ones chopped and ones y
    Too tall

    Man, those early Mopars are just sinister looking. It does seem like it takes a really sharp builder to make them work fenderless... just unbolting the fenders doesn't look right the way it does on a Ford. But if you can make that body watertight I'm sure you've got the skills to get it sitting right!

  26. Always nice to see another Mopar being brought back from the dead. Good luck on getting those tail lights cheep. I heve seen them sell from $350 for just the lenses and bezel.

    Look at the height of your quarter and door windows compared to @scotts52 's body. That seam around the roof isn't factory...your roof IS chopped;)
