Well another project followed me home. Its a 25 dodge 5 window. I picked it up form a fellow rrr member in central California. I'm bouncing around ideas about what I'm going to do with it. I'm leaning toward a rat gasser. I have a friend with most of a Hemi motor laying around. So fingers crossed I can arm wrestle him for it. what better motor for a dodge. Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated

Oh yeah, Baby Hemi, torque light tranny, and a 9 inch. Nothing screams nostalgia more.

Technically, a gasser is a full-bodied car.
You have a great start to a BLOWN Hemi altered, however. [ddd

Thanks dr. I guess you learn something new everyday
I started on some bomber seats for the car. I know its not your typical starting point for a build but I recently started helping a guy out getting his new shop together and theres not enough room indoors for the car yet. This guy builds dragster chassis and has every tool and piece of machinery you could imagine, so needless to say it 2500 square feet of paradise

Looking real good, oh to have all the right tools and the skills to use them.
It's got a fair amount of rot right around the bottom edge but for being 90 years old it's in pretty amazing shape
Thanks dozer, defanatly the right tools. The jury is still out on the skills part[cl
well I spent my day off in the shop, got pretty close to done with one seat. just need to cut holes for seat belt then hammer about seven million rivets in. oh yeah then do it all over again.
Theres a panoramic pic of the shop and one of my friends dragsters. sure is nice to have some space to work and all the fancy tools.
