JB's 1927 Dodge Brothers build...

[SugarRay8]

That’s a tough one, but I think I like the look of them lower.
It’s going to look great either way you go.

 

[CORPO]

looking real good.. i like the lights higher.. just my 0.02

 

[Mr.Gussett]

Lights

I like the lights down low! Either way you end up mounting them, I wouldn't mount them on the spring/axle they will vibrate and bounce too much causing them to not to last !

 

[Oldrodder43]

Well, it's your car, do it however it suits YOU. BUT, seeing as you asked, My preference is for the higher mounting! You are doing very good work. Keep it up. perley

 

[bell]

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I know not to mount them to the suspension or axle... It was the only place I could clamp them to have a look see...

I posted the pics for opinions, so keep them coming! I'm leaning towards the lower mounting....

 

[Snake Farm]

Car is looking great ![cl[cl

I vote low on the lights

 

[chuckles]

Coming along nicely !! What is the wheelbase? Looks good !!
I re-read this and relised I never sent you a pic of my '27. It's complete and I hate to cut it up. It has the solid disc. wheels. and cowl light 'options'.
>>>Here it is and
then a rendering what I would like to do !!!??? But!!??

 

[My old crap]

Nice build!

 

[chuckles]

 

[Sam_Fear]

[jfg455]

[sam the barber]

[bell]

Thanks! Updates coming soon....

I just ordered some chromoly heim joints, air bags and some other misc. stuff.... And, I have two weeks off, here in a couple weeks!

I've been working on the DB again!

The rear suspension is done!
Ride height (there is about 2 or 3 more inches of "up" for speedbump mode... lol)

Aired out...

Also finished up the transmission crossmember...

 

[bell]

Also got my radiatior... It's from Champion cooling systems. They are VERY reasonable and make lots of different sizes. This one is a "t-bucket" radiator and is 3 row, all aluminum. Came with the electric fan for just over $200 shipped!

Tomorrow is my last day of vacation... I'm going to pull the engine and transmission and put the torque converter in... Then, I'll try to get it fired up!

 

[Sam_Fear]

Killer!!

 

[whlpny]

Wow sure is coming along Nice Jon!!!!!

 

[bob w]

Very cool car. I like your front suspension, as I did one like that too.

Are you gonna put a roof on it?

 

[bell]

Thanks fellas!

Yes, it's gonna get a full roof... And possibly a 2" or 3" chop...
I'm going to make the roof out of oak plywood... Router the outer edge so it's rounded and wrap it with padded vinyl. On the inside, I'll stain it and put some heavy clear on it. Should work out pretty good.

 

[Dirtyrat]

I'm digging this front end, I'm curious to see the rest of this build.
