Thread: 1934 dodge coupe

Tweet

here is the 34 dodge my dad and i are building. the car was sitting behind an abandoned house about 45 min from cleveland ohio. it must not have been an ohio car for long since there is no rot at all on it. i dont remmeber what model it is and i dont remember the wheel base off the top of my head. the frame is fully boxed. it has a tubular x member and a fat man front stub. all the mustang ii stuff is stainless tubular. the engine is a 350 out of a 99 suburban. it is a stock rebuild that is 40 over and converted to a carb set up. the tranny is a 700r4 which is sitting in the corner, waiting for a rebuild. out back is a ford 8 inch with an open diff. we still arent sure what gear yet, either a 3.55 or 3.73. the car was about 75% complete when we got it. well have to do some digging for some bolt on stuff but all the steel was there.
we try to work on it every saturday morning for at least 4 hours. it doesnt always happen since we have lives outside of the car, but we do the best we can. all the work, other than chrome, glass and some machining, is and will be done by us. the first couple pics are the car when we bought it. its just the shell on the frame, the rest we needed to put in the bed of my truck since it was appart. the others are as it looks now. the pics were taken right after i worked on it this past saturday. like my 41 ford project, i will keep everyone posted on the build...with pics!
