hey everyone. my name is trey. im a car-a-holic. heh. living in cheyenne wyoming. married, no kids, just a few dogs. im 25, been in the military for 7 years now. been into cars all my life.

my current car is a 1928 dodge bros sedan. it started as a coupe. it was used as a farm car, and the trunk was cut off. so i decided to stretch it out to a sedan. engine is a 364 buick nailhead. trans is a th400. rear is a 8" ford. my front axle is 39 ford truck. its a various group of parts made to form a car. its not a rat rod, just a work in progress. ill include some pictures, hope you guys like it.

any people in my area on here?

Hi Trey! Not in your area but I am a fellow car-a-holic..... possibly even more so than you. I am 18 but don't let that fool you into thinking I am one of those normal teens who grows out of cars almost as soon as he get's interested in them.

I am currently working on my '72 Dodge Charger that I bought for $600. Body is in great condition for a 32 year old Mopar from what research I have done..... which in probably another half a year I'd say, will be extensive but never exhaustive.

Good to see another Mopar guy on here. If I had one question it would be about the back end of your car. From the looks of your picture it seems like you crafted the metal yourself. What I mean is it kinda looks like you crafted it out of sheet metal which I have noticed a lot of hot rodders with cars that old usually have to do. Did you craft it yourself cuase it kinda looks like it was grinded at the top corners?

Also, make sure you mercilously tear off those back tires and bolt some nice fat ones on ok? .....with no white walls out!

most of the car from the doors back i made. except for the area around the back window, and up. i like metalwork, so its fun for me.

im sure the tires will go up in a cloud of smoke eventually. dont know what i will put on them though. thanks for the reply.
