Projects 1922 Dodge Bros Roadster (almost none of this is true)

Cool project.

A bit off topic but I'll ask anyway; In your last post, is that a trunk lid for an Opel 1900 wagon hanging on the wall?

 

Thanks. No sir, that's from a Chevy Vega Wagon.

 

In my humble opinion, the Dodge cowl & windshield is the best looking of the early cars. Checkout a movie called “The Lively Set”. That bucket was built using a Dodge cowl. Also, checkout Ed Roth’s OutLaw and its cowl & windshield.

 

I agree! Looks like '18 to me. The curved angle iron rear fender mounts is one clue. A year or two either way is possible too.
W/S post leaned back starting in 1920. Doors and hinges changed in 1920 as well.

Thank you, Dave

 

I'm not the fastest turtle on the log, but I eked out some time to get side two tacked in.


Also started taking the axle apart. She's a little tight, but some magic elixir will help.
Poured half a jar of poor man's Kroil into the spindle and let 'er eat. DS came right apart, but I think due to not having an brake hardware inside.


I'm hoping my new shift makes finding time a little easier. I reckon I'll sleep when I'm dead.
