The saga begins! Picked my new project today... a '28 Dodge Bros coupe & my ratty build will be covered in the new magazine! Will be using a 390 out of a '63 Mercury Maurader, Merc-O-Matic tranny, severe toppin' choppin', quick change rear end, suicide front end! Gonna build a z'd frame using Don's thread as a guide & use a I-beam axle from my '41 Chev panel plus some other junk I have left over form other projects! [ddd And here's the grill shell. Wow... I can't wait! Gonna make this so Mrs Tripper can drive it too! Sorry... no A/C honey!!! :eek:

Kooool score from a buddy today... a complete front end from a '46 Ford for $200! All there from wheel to wheel, juice brakes & 5x5 lugs! Think he even has some old rims that fit too!

Cruised over where I have my motors & trannys stashed to ck up on the Merc 390ci I'll be puttin' in the coupe. It has P/S & A/C so I'm pretty happy. New alum manifold & headers are definitely in order! Gonna dig it out shortly & git with the program... yipppeee!!!

Sweeeeet!!! BigIrish had some 2x4 sq tubing layin' around & sold it to me on the cheap. He also gave me a Blazer roof that he didn't use on his last project that I'll use to plug the hole in the roof of the coupe so I am on cloud 9... thanks Irish!!! [cl[cl[cl

I'm ready for some toppin' choppin'!!!
