Title: dodge cowl
Post by: ghost28 on November 02, 2016, 10:32:33 PM
I saved this the other day. It's a 1924 dodge roadster cowl and windshield stantions. I have started building the door frames using 14 guage metal they will be wrapped with 18 guage. If it all work out I might build the back of the body and a pickup bed for it. Mostly it's just a toy for now to play with. I coated it with a rust inhibitor to seal the rust and make it easier to handle cleanly.

That is nice. There is a complete teens- early twenties Dodge touring body less the doors here. I had id for a while then the guy backed out of the deal. I think he saw a Barret Jackson episode on TV. ;D I'm still working on getting it back. He'll never do anything with but neither would I probably. :(

Nice little project to run into!  That stuff is scarce around here.

The only thing I have done so far is make a template of the a pillar hinge area, and cut out 6 steel plates of the same shape to act as the sides of the doors, and the latch area of the b pillar.  Then I had to put it away to work on a 55 chevy. :'(

Cool. I wonder what the deal is with all the 24's showing up. I grabbed a coupe 3yrs ago, missing the doors and back window. Thought it was a Model T at first.  I gave it to my buddy Shane last year along with the Model T frame that was with it.  Then he picked up another '24 coupe complete at a farm auction. All the bad parts on his are good on the one I gave him. He just came across another last month that he is working a deal on.

That's something to keep you busy over Winter, not that you need extra work, but a nice start to something cool perhaps.
