Projects 47 Dodge business coupe build

Started gutting the master cylinder to get it ready for the new master. The plan is to use the stock peddle assembly and pass a rod thru the old master to the new booster and master. I'm still searching around for the right parts.

Picked up some 94's tonight. Time to start planning the new intake/exhaust manifolds.

Made a little progress on the carb/intake set up. Started drawing everything in CAD. Haven't figured out yet what the intake will be made out of but this is the spacing I'm planning on. I attached a .pdf of the 3x2 setup that will print to scale on 11x17 paper.

 

pretty damn cool I think

 

Nice work... I am always amazed at the skills of HAMBers like you. BTW, love the old MoPar... I just bought a '51 Wayfarer Business Coupe. I love how these old cars look.

 

Swank Tank!

If you're going to swap the rear axle compare the ratios between the old and new assemblies. You might pick up 10 or 15 MPH just from the axle swap.

 

Nice work, thanks for sharing. Please keep pics coming.

 

Playing with the idea of doing some custom work on the front sheet metal. I was thinking about getting rid of the front and rear bumpers. The back is a no-brainer. I have seen it done by adding sheet metal below the trunk and I think it looks great. The front is not so easy. I have never seen it done in a way I like. I did a few very quick photo-chops of what I am thinking. I'm not in love with it enough to start cutting. Seems like it still needs some work. Any ideas?

 

Some pics for the interweb of back bumpers remover.

 

Started rebuilding the carbs. Thru one of the bodies in the tumbler to see if they would polish up. I like it so the rest will go in.

Ordered some parts a few weeks ago. Got everything to rebuild the carbs and extend the throttle shafts from Vintage Speed. Also got a speedway progressive throttle linkage kit. It's really nice quality. Spent a good amount of time going thru the carb components and making sure everything is clean and true. Used some sand paper on a flat surface the square all the gasket surfaces up. It's more time consuming than I expected but I know they will be spot on when they are installed. There are a ton of great threads on this board on how to set them up for multi carb application. I am eliminating the idle circuit on the two outer carbs. I have 51 jets and 3.5" power valves in all of them. I'm sure something will have to change, but hopefully it will get me in the ballpark.

The turbo came in as well. It was a proud moment when my son refused to give it up.
