Projects 27 Dodge sedan progress

whoops, looks like the others didnt post.
Here goes!









hope that worked!

 

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.



this is a 27 Chrysler coupe built by Bear Metal Kustoms

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.

 

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!!

 

If I was to run a RB motor I'd run one of these set-ups.....




How cool would that look sticking out the side of your hood opening....

 

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!
