I was browsing Craigslis a couple years ago and found the PERFECT platform for a family-friendly Rat... A 1927 Dodge Brothers 124.
Here's what I started with...

The front wheels were long gone... (21" solid steel) And there is virtually nothing out there to match the 5 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, so I modified a set of Suzuki Samurai wheels to fit it, for rolling it around. I wish I had the original wheels, they would DEFINATELY be going back on it, with some wide whites.
After an afternoon of mock up action, it was starting to look a little better...

Here's what it's supposed to look like... [dr

If it came with more of the original parts, it would probably be going back that way... But, it would cost a FORTUNE to put it back... and I'd rather have a rat.

Man, I lost a LOT of my pics....
Went with a Big Block Mopar (400) and TF727 tranz...
I whittled some mounts out of 3/16" plate...
And, the rest is pretty self-explanitory....

I made my own cowl steering setup, using a BMW model 2002 steering box...
Here's a look at the "cradle"...
And the support/ bracing needed (IMO) to run cowl steering...

I started tearing into the engine and discovered it needed a full rebuild...
So, I did a full rebuild.... including a Lunati "voodoo" cam and a gear drive...
Here it is, sitting where it belongs!
