    Hello,
    Been reading your posts and threads and forums for a long time now and love it. So far on other projects my questions were answered within the threads. Recently I have started collecting more parts for one of my builds and have been reading about all your builds thanks for the advice and help I have learned so much.

    I have ran into a problem what I know as a 1929 Dodge Sedan 4door body and frame, however everything I can see the dash doesn't match pictures I see for a 1929 dodge sedan. If anyone can identify this for me that would be great. I'm trying to find some doors as a couple have dents in bad places and for collecting other pets I would like to know exactly what I have. Now I don't know if it's a dodge or Plymouth or Chrysler or victory can anyone help?

    Hi & welcome. I do not know what make it is but for those more into the 30's sedans things like the curvature of the sides of windshield frame, windshield visor, dash & the recess in doors around the windows should make it easy.
    An old style body man who knows how to use hammer & dollies instead of filling everything with putty can straighten that drivers door.
    Someone will be along soon who knows that body.
    Good luck, Jimmie

    Yes I have no intention of using a bunch of filler. The door is fixable but if I can locate a new door in better shape it might be a better idea it has a little cancer at the top of the door.
    Thank you for the welcoming

    IMG_3112.JPG The body also has the body manufacturing stamp from Budd; which from what I read puts it in the dodge family.
    A 1929 standard 6 matches very close but the dash is off

    A 1929 victory 6 matches close also and the dash even closer but still not 100%

    When? Haha joking thank you.

    Picked up a 1935 Plymouth 4 door sedan for 200 the other day and he delivered it for free - a 35 mile trip one way I got a killer deal

    Hello thank you for your help how do I find such a man or a new door in the greater Puget sound area? Certainly haven't had any luck finding a door online. The one I did find the guy made the 1929 dodge sedan into some sort of a swamp buggy and i can't talk him out of the doors

    Anyone ? Just trying to find a vehicle identification but am having no luck - to the experienced people should I try to post somewhere else on the site? If so where?
