    Thanks for the kind words about my sedan ;)
    And the history lesson, who says ya can't teach an old Machinist new things?

    That master parts book is a GOLDMINE!!!!!

    I think Dodges from that era are some of the coolest cars EVER!
    Super solid construction, mine has a front seat wrap around also, it's full size and it attaches to the "B" piller, looks alot like the front seat of a model T touring.

    Early Dodges make the coolest hot rods!

    Can you guys do a spotter's guide on these things? I spent a while on the net looking for images, and looked at as many 24-27s as I could find. It seemed like the cowl vent came in later, and there is a difference in the bodies too. Some doors are 2 hinge, some are 3. Anything else? Pictures of the back windows and when they came in?

    Cowl vent started in '26 and' 27, as far as I know. The easiest way to tell DBs is by the radiator shell. They were low in '15 and started getting taller until '27, but had the same shape. There's a bunch of radiator shells on Ebay right now with good discriptions of what years they fit.
     
  5. Sweet...I was considering a complete but tired 30 dodge 4dr locally...but thought too long about it and missed.:(

    After seeing yours I kinda kick myself...oh well another car will come along...great that it's staying all mopar...mine will be as well...when I get one that is.;):)

    Keep up the good work...look forward to more progress!!
     
  6. If I was to run a RB motor I'd run one of these set-ups.....

    Thanks man! I personally like the six pack myself. Or "sick pack" is what I call mine. Everyone has their own opinion, thats what makes this hobby so cool! :)
