Still havent found a dodge grill to run yet, But i have the carb set up and some progress completed. I am shootin to get this car on the road by summer for sure.
Are you watching Ebay, they come up at times? The shells are all the same shape but about '18 they got taller. The later are way more common and could be cut down.
Ya i know ...hey wait this is my job...im calling it research..... I might drop by the swap meet later ...when all the good stuff is gone and the leftovers are cheap hey drop by soon so i can take you for walk around the forney...shouldn't be stuck at the front like last time!!!
Wow, Natasha looks nice. Oh there's a cool little Dodge in there somewhere too. Looks like you've made some real progress and congratulations on making your dream a reality. That's always cool to witness
A buddy of mine had a '24 Dodge Brothers roadster about 15 years ago built into a bucket type ride. It was painted pimp purple and some idiot had written "Model T" on the sides when it was painted...........Dodge Model T???? Morons are not in shortage. Wp
Hate the tractor shell,to me it screams old skool rodz rat crap. I kinda feel the same way.......you should go find the tractor that thing came off of and give it back ! I have a spare 31 AA truck shell that I'd gladly trade if you can talk that pretty girl into sitting in my car too....................
Ya we could make a trade for sure on that AA grill...lol The pretty gal will not only sit in your car but she can fix em too...she's great...LOL
I was talking about the skinny girl in the skirt, I know better than to talk to your girlfriends, what with them instantly hating me and all..................never again.
That much is true but a '24 Dodge Brothers roadster still isn't a Ford and writing "Model T" on one doesn't make sense Wp
Just the important parts, engine trans, steering, rear. That's why the early Dodge Brothers cars were so much better then T's. Ford wanted everything cheap, they chose to build their own BETTER. OK, start the hate.
Ha Ha....."Ferris your my Hero".....I think the reason for that is after they meet you they know ...."they might be traded for a pile of rusty ol' car parts at anytime"...LOL
Ya it sure is!! Havent got as far as maken up linkage and shifter, but the way its coming along sould be real soon i will post detailed pics when i start on it. Thanks,Timmy Z
Good chunk of progress was completed last night i didnt finsh till about 1:00am. I was able to make doors and patch panels for the rest of the body. i had to rub my eyes last night when i got done not because i was tierd but because it is almost a dream my hotrod is so close to being done and driving around.
Here's a Chevy grille shell cut to fit on a '19 Dodge I have on ebay right now..... I think it looks good, proportions and all....
I am gonna have to say this Dodge Bucket is one of the most Mega-Bad rides I have saw in a long time I LOVE it! Wp
There was a cab with doors just like that buried on my property near Atlanta. At the time I was not real into digging it out so it got totally buried. It looked like it was decent too but I just assumed the part under ground would be worthless. Cool car you have there.
Thanks so much for the kind words!! I feel like a kid before christmas when i think that it will be finished soon. Tonight i started working on the removable canvas top and floor so i should have some more progress pics up ASAP. Thanks Again, Timmy Z
Started working on the top for her this week...i was going to go with a canvas top but decided to make it out of steel..more work but i think it will look kooler..here's a progress shot so far..
Looks good! Are you planning on using the seat riser still? I don't know how tall ya are, but with a short windshield and the seat riser in place for ours the roof would have to be pretty tall...
"Thanks" Looks like the seat riser is going bye bye. I am planning to build a pretty solid floor and yes the roof line is so low that i will be sitting on just a pad..well not to mention having limited sight behind me when the top is on.. but hey looks cant give you everything....
Alright finally i have some progress to show you guys. As of now she is very close. Its almost hard to list how many things have been completed since last post which was close to a year ago. She was in storage for close to 6 months with out even a wrench turned so i been making up for lost time. I promise the first start video will be posted here and hopefully is only a week or two away.
