ATTN MoPar FANS: Steve K's 1933 Dodge Coupe

Steve K is a really nice guy. He's our newest customer, and harkens from Road Racing. He wanted to do a father/son project with his boys. They'll be handling the final assembly/wiring/etc.

The body is a virgin '33 Dodge Coupe, chopped 3 1/2", rear wheel houses moved up 2 1/2" and forward 2". Then we repaired the rockers, and made new lower front quarters and lower cowl. Both are slightly modified to carry the lines a bit more in a flowing manner. Enjoy:

 

Mocked up:

 

Wow Wow We Wow! Nice! Cant wait to see the finished product!

 

Rare car ! Good choice ! "Dare To Be Different" !!

(See my Dodge & Plymouth MoPars in my Album Section !)

I'm subscribed!

 

Thanks guys!

 

Holy crap! This rules!

 

Haha, I knew you would like it.

 

Excellent.... I am watching this one!

 

Amazing work once again, but I've told you that many times before Kevin.

Top-Notch !

 

yeah, i guess all the cars from 33 look cool with a chop you have all the cool toys in your shop right now.

chris.

 

I have a '34 cut down to a roadser pickup. That "Victory" looks like a Grant/Spaulding Flamethrower. What are the deails?

 

Sweet build. Those cars have great lines.

 

HotRodChassis & Django -

I dunno ... I've been told that puttin' a HEMI in a chopped 5wd Coupe is never a good idea!

Please keep us updated on your progress.

 

Yikes, no f'n around here, this is gonna be awesome. Love all those MoPar coupe details. Sweet!! ~sololobo~

 

It is a Spalding. We rebuilt it here in the shop. Our sister company is Victory Speed Equipment. So when we rebuilt an old hiperf dizzy, we put one of our enamel tags on to say where it was done.

*clears throat* looks like you're could use some love. *hint hint*

 

I thought putting a Hemi in any rod was a good idea!

 

I just may need to have you rebuild mine when the time comes, looks like you did a nice job. Hows about some more photos of it? Do you have side caps for the Spaulding? One of mine is cracked. I'm told it will work fine, but I'd like to replace it anyway.

 

that timing cover is nuts!

 

No, we don't. I did hear that the office of "they" were going to make some. But I don't know if anything materialized or not.

 

I believe the MoPar cars of the '33 & '34 vintage are the best looking, the coupes with their quarter windows and the flowing lines of the sedans (I had a 1934 Dodge DRXX touring sedan). The frames were built like the Eiffel Tower. I may be wrong but the cars felt bigger, like a Dakota pickup vs. an S-10 or Ranger.

 

The 1933 DP Dodge & the 1933 PD Plymouth had a 112" wheel base (known as short w/base) same as the 34 fords, there were other MoPar's in 33 that were longer (115") too.

 

Fricken "DITTO"!

Awesome work fellas!

 

Nice to see something different, no offense to the Ford guys! Im starting a 29 Dodge coupe, also Hemi powered, Im a bit behind you guys, so thanks for the inspiration

 

Looks like a cool build. I love these mopar builds!!

 

Radicall! My new favorite build here.

 

Unless I'm incorrect, I think he was talking about how they "feel" bigger inside. And that's because they are. MoPars and Essex/Husdon were all steel, and larger dimension inside than a Ford or Chevy.
