Customs 1936 Dodge kustom out in the sun,at last!!

Tasty.

 

Wow looks great. Any plans for paint?

 

whats not to like-good job

 

Yeah, and the chickens get too hot, too.

OH! Wait! You meant COUPE!

Neeevvveerr mind.

 

love it ! very nice !!!

 

Very cool indeed!

 

Very nice. Looks super. You've got a good eye for style. So glad to see pictures of it outside, looking forward to many more.

 

This is one awesome ride! Makes me want one. You know it's good when Rik approves

 

very nice,youve done good to that car.

 

I lurve it!

 

You did good RK! Any idea what color you're going to put on it?

 

Oh yeah!

 

superb. inspiring.

 

Foppa,I believe those are repop bullet turn signals for Harley with clear lenses.Nice bullet shape that will do for now.I`m looking for a pair of Electroline side markers or such with more Art Deco feel to them.If anyone has a pair I`m interested!

 

+1 I swear the extra dedication it takes to build an old American car overseas keeps you guys from compromising anything about the build.

Great job. I love these '40s-style customs.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your nice comments,what a gentle crowd we have here..I would have settled for"Nice street rod"
I`ve been balling with different ideas how to chop it but haven`t decided yet.I love how Skoty chopped his 35 Plymouth but I`d like to try a different approach,maybe a little more from c-pillars.Dunno..Hardtop?Don`t know about that either..I just love the B-pillar treatment on Nachtfalter Merc..One thing for sure,I`ll thin the(door) b-pillar.It`ll give side windows a better proportion.
5W coupes are hard to get right,mainly cause the short doors and the fact that the crown is right after the b-pillar.Any ideas are more than welcome.But it will be chopped!

 

This is one I chopped 2 1/2" from back in the '80s. It's still just a sketch, I've tucked it away for later. I'll bring it out again some day. Bob

 

Real nice looking car!!

You're doing an awesome job, especially for a first build...keep the updates coming and have fun with it!

 

Very cool, that Hollywood panel looks right at home...great touch.

Pete-

 

My 2c.

 

Excellent!! Keep the pictures coming.

 

The pics in the first two posts do not appear for me. Anyone else having an issue? I would like to see more, from the avatar shot it looks like a cool car.

 

It's already a fantastic looking car. Use those side shots and have someone photoshop every different type of chop you are considering. The top mods will be critical to the beauty of the final outcome and that will take a lot of the guesswork out of the process.

 

badassss!

 

That is by far one of the coolest Dodge's around!

 

Very very true.I`ll keep that in mind,thanks!

I like this,thanks James D!!How about taking half inch more off the a-pillar or adding half inch to the C`s.Might help to keep both side windows proportioned?How about it??

 

Your car looks beautiful. That is the way a car is SUPPOSED to look! Keep listening to that inner voice. Very cool.

 

Looking good!!!
I'd get Janne or Rik to do some sketching.

 

Jätte Bra!!! Love the way it all works together!
