I had a '40 Dodge once. They're not considered prime custom material but I've always liked the lines of early Mopar stuff. With a different grille treatment it could be a stunning car - they have lots of potential if you're willing to do some work.

I don't know production numbers but the relative value is not as good as say a Ford or Chevy of the same year so don't worry about cutting it up to make something you like.

Do a web search and you'll find some info on them. Also, post some pics of it on the main board and you'll get some input.

Welcome to the HAMB - you've got a great resource at your fingertips here.

 

thanks for the info. how can i post the pics in a message, cut and paste?
