25 dodge brothers

[NickFish]

Well another project followed me home. Its a 25 dodge 5 window. I picked it up form a fellow rrr member in central California. I'm bouncing around ideas about what I'm going to do with it. I'm leaning toward a rat gasser. I have a friend with most of a Hemi motor laying around. So fingers crossed I can arm wrestle him for it. what better motor for a dodge. Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated

Killer[cl Can't wait to see what you do with this one! [P[P[P

Fun time and yes a hemi goes well with it. [cl

Oh yeah, Baby Hemi, torque light tranny, and a 9 inch. Nothing screams nostalgia more.

Nice score!

Technically, a gasser is a full-bodied car.

You have a great start to a BLOWN Hemi altered, however. [ddd

Thanks dr. I guess you learn something new everyday

I started on some bomber seats for the car. I know its not your typical starting point for a build but I recently started helping a guy out getting his new shop together and theres not enough room indoors for the car yet. This guy builds dragster chassis and has every tool and piece of machinery you could imagine, so needless to say it 2500 square feet of paradise

Excellent start! Is that body as solid as it looks?

 

[DozerII]

Looking real good, oh to have all the right tools and the skills to use them.

It's got a fair amount of rot right around the bottom edge but for being 90 years old it's in pretty amazing shape

Thanks dozer, defanatly the right tools. The jury is still out on the skills part[cl

 

[NickFish]

well I spent my day off in the shop, got pretty close to done with one seat. just need to cut holes for seat belt then hammer about seven million rivets in. oh yeah then do it all over again.


Theres a panoramic pic of the shop and one of my friends dragsters. sure is nice to have some space to work and all the fancy tools.

You lucky son of a gun. Seats look killer!! [cl

 

[willyD]

Man those seats are lookin good!!![cl[cl[cl Something tells me your are going to be over at that shop as much as possible[dr

 

[NickFish]

Thanks guys, I would be there every day if this dang job of mine wasn't getting in the way of play time

 

[endicott_jb]

I would love to have that shop and all that equipment at my disposal. Oh the things that I could do...

Very nice job on the seats, what if any cushioning are you using?[cl[cl
