Getting more work done!

OK its been quite a while since my last confession (lol). I had the Dodge towed to my friends fab shop this morning. Getting some brackets to hold the front end on properly. I was trying to do that part my self but found it to be over challenging. Trying to match 60 year old parts with 21 year old parts is something i have not mastered yet. There also installing the rad, exhaust and break lines. Pats drive line is going to be doing up a drive shaft for it. I'm hoping to be driving it by the summer. this is something I've been saying since I bought the car 4 years ago. Finding time and patience seems to be the biggest factor in this process. I usually blame it on the money tree but that's not the complete truth. If there are parts I need I would be able to scrape up the money some where. I took a couple pictures of it on the hoist.

Looks so different but the same?????

Time to throw some more $$$$ at it!

K, the poor things been sittin' for about a year and a half since any works been done to to it.
I've finally got the Hooker long headders on it. There was a lot of smashing and bending and swearing involved but there in! I also put in new bearings and races and fresh spindels. I've cut the body damage out from under the passenger side and am making new roll pan. Seems to get harder and harder to find the time and help building this car. Its going to happen, its just going to take a lot longer then planed. Here's some more recent pics of my gem to sooth your eyes.

Here's what I've been up to

Well lets start off with some history of the car. The dodge was found in southern Oregon near the Cal border.It was brought up about 8 years ago and spent the next 5 years in a chicken barn in Fort Langley BC. It was painted a bad cream color from its original sea foam green. I had the car delivered to my home in Langley where it has spent the last 3 years being personalised and modernly transformed.

I (meaning we from help from friends and family) began striping paint and the drive train. The original flat 6 motor and drive train was sold to a guy in Abbotsford BC for his 1928 International. After many hot days of stripping paint followed by cold beers in the drive way it was in primer, one panel at a time. It was this point that the wife started to refer to herself as the garage widow(lol). The body work was minimum other then a couple front floor pans. Don and Dustin from Schwab customs clipped the frame to a 79 Malibu and put a rear end from a local 55 Chevy that went to a 9". They also put in a tilt column and break booster for me. Thought it was going to cost me a small fortune but ended up doing a trade for storage on his sweet little 36 chopped chev pickup while he was moving shops.

I've removed the rear fenders, cleaned seams and welded solid to the car. Made for a much cleaner look. I've made a lot of changes to the dash and inner trunk. There's a 350/350 combo minus a drive shaft.  The wiring has ALL been removed and the 12v was purchased and ready to be installed. I am currently working on a custom rad mount and exhaust. There's a lot of work yet to do and this car is a budget build. I'm not sure what I'm more short of time or money (lol) but I'm always up for extra help or parts donations.
