Gotta finish this before i start my 68 charger, this is my grandpa's car. this car was origionlly a 1933 dodge sedan but he cut it down so its now a 1933 dodge coupe. this car was to badly rusted there honestly was absolutely NOTHING left of this car. He basically build the entire back half to make it a coupe. he eliminated the back 2 doors, build the entire senter section of the frame  (which was rotted completely away.) the fenders doors hood side skirts were preserved in a barn but the rest of the car was rotted away. Lots of work to do yet. The eninge is a 341 desoto Hemi bolted to a 727 and has a dana 60 4.10 powerlock unit.

Mally, It looks like you're doing a fabulous job on that ol' Dodge!

If I might be so bold....can I make a small suggestion?
That hump - on the forward part of the roof - do you think that taking a pie cut out of it might improve it's profile a tad?

Here's a picture to illustrate my point.

I will have a early 30's ride in my garage after my charger is done.   :yesnod:

How do you plan to finish the rear half where you welded up so many pieces of metal?  :o

well we are going to lead in the sectons where its over lapped then use allmetal to finish it off its gonna be alot of work but it should come out pretty decent when we are done, we will probably have to pound and grind some of the high spots to blend it in so its smooth before we go puting the lead to it.

Those pics of that pink coupe, does it look like the front of the cab on ours is higher than the one in that pic, its kinda deceiving, if it is higher we will have to modify it and bring it down some.  :scratchchin:  the glossyness of the pic makes it hard to tell. we have both side the same on our's.  what do you guys think??

The extra weight of the lead will help for traction at least.
