    Ok, I've had this what I think is a Dodge touring body. I've had it for years and now it is time to do something with it. Can anybody identify the year? I think it may be late teens or early 1920's.

    Also I would love to see some touring hot rod photos. It would help give me ideas. I want to go with an early 60's look. Maybe bobbed cycle fenders etc. But am not sure. All I know is I want to build it in a highboy style. But even then, I may change my mind once I actually get started.


    Oh yeah, here is the 331 Hemi that will be up in the front.

  5. Looks exactly the same as mine. Mine has a data-patent plate on the floor under the front seat. Says 1915 to 1918 Dodge Brothers. Later they became Dodge. Also two pics found on the HAMB. Both late T Fords but the drivers are having fun :D

    Mine said 1918-1919 on the plate but is actually a 22-25 body. Yours is a late teens by the flat cowl. Later ones had a curved cowl
