New project - going to need help

These 3 pieces followed me home yesterday from a little known junkyard in the area. Cowl and bucket are approx '22 Dodge. The owner of the yard is restoring a '20 Dodge roadster and had these left over. No idea on the lineage of the radiator. Interesting how someone converted to flathead Ford. Gave $200 for the lot. I also hauled home decent T frame from a different deal. I have no idea if this is of any use but it looks cool!

My goal is a boat tail roadster powered by a 2300 Ford if I can find one. Hopefully looking like the ones that run at TROG except with more modern power. I do a lot of welding/tabbing at work and on my logging equipment so that end is not an issue. Where I will have questions is about suspension and what works with what. Looking forward to getting going on it.

The boat tail is a fold up hood from a large 4 door car of unknown make and year.

Watching bobw build his bantam has been great inspiration! Really like his cowl steering and hope to accomplish that also. [

Good start, have fun with it. [cl

I think you are looking at it wrong. Use that for hood for the top of the boat tail.

Have you ever looked at my boat tail project? (Roofus)

oooooooooowww coolness !!!

be watching this one --

Flipper, I have been through your build on several occasions! Greatness.[cl[cl Glad to see it going again[P

I was set of doing the boat tail but when I acquired this bucket/turtle deck in pretty good shape I maybe changing my mind. I was throwing around the idea of a heavy duck type canvas cover in place of the missing lid. We'll see which direction I go.
