My 1926 Dodge build start

[Marty Z]

The day I picked the daisy from the field.
Don't mind the date on the pictures ,it is my granddaughters camera .
I picked it up on May 10th. 2016

 

[Marty Z]

Four doors is okay but.... I think I may do a two door.

 

[Marty Z]

I cut one side of the B pillar off , and connected the B pillar up against the A pillar. They are the same shape. So now I can run,the suicide rear doors as the front doors .

 

[Torchie]

Cool.

I am going to be building my own frame. Straight axle front end. Small block chevy with a trubo
700r4 trans and a ford 9".

 

[akatao]

cool ! I like the scout in the back ground

 

[Marty Z]

took the back doors to make as front doors, removed the rusted out part on the back door and cut the top of the front door skin to fix them. Had to do the same on both doors. So does this still count as the original sheet metal![

 

[Marty Z]

cool ! I like the scout in the back ground

I have a scout also , was looking at the doors on that one for mine.

 

[Marty Z]

pre-door fix. This threw them up there just to get an idea.

 

[soltz]

Looking good [cl
It was all original to some where on that body, so yes it is [

Very cool build. I'll be checking in on this when I can. Really wish I could find a dodge or 2 up on the hi-line but they're kinda rare.[P
