Thread: 193OISH 4 door dodge shortend into a 2 door

Tweet

started this one a while ago, almost finished now.

we took 7 inches out of the body and filled in the rear windows to make a sedan delivery looking ride, custom made 2X4 square rail chassis with 1O3 inch wheelbase, 375 HP ZZ4 35O SBC, 7OOR4 trans, 4 link & 9 INCH ford rearend, QA1 coil over shocks, after market mustang II with rack & pinion frontend, 4 wheel disc brakes, 1932 ford grille shell & insert and weighs 23OO hundred pounds.

changed the tires/wheels from the short rear tires and 5 spokes to aluminum slots to fit the style of the car better and 31" tall X 12'' wide rear tires.

still more,

been driving her around and finding all the little things that need done, had to replace the rear caliper on the rear because the new one leaked, drive shaft was rubbing so had to raise the rearend about 2", some small leaks but it is a fun ride.

took her out for a test drive and W0W power to weight ratio makes this car fun to drive

Looks like a fun project. Great custom paint job! Way to let the kids get involved. My boy who is now in his late teens cherishes a baseball bat we turned on the lathe together when he was 6. I held his hands and the knife, worked slow. This summer I am going to teach him how to weld (stick mig and tig). My 3 year old daughter will be next. As exited as I am I will wait until she gets a little older (in case my wife is reading).

that actually looks quite cool-I like the finished side profile and I can see why it would be fun to drive.
what do you guys pay for those mustang II front ends?

.

mine came with the chassis but after market runs from $1,5OO.OO to $2,5OO.OO complete.

here are a few l found doing a google search. E Bay has them all the time.
