1927 Chrysler build

[hoitink]

Well it's that time of year and It's time for a new build
So I've got my self a dodge or so I'm told but the tag on the firewall says it's a Chrysler, So if anyone has a better Idea what it is let me know.

As I got it home

Mmmmmm wood rot

 

[hoitink]

So time to weld up the back doors and get the top ready to clip

and so it begins

and some more chopping

 

[hoitink]

Now for the slide

Have to chop it down a bit to get the back lined up

 

[hoitink]

So off with the lid it goes

Slowly she's loosing all her wood lol

Little better lol

 

[hoitink]

Ok now I'm starting to get everything lined up

Now getting ready for the actuall chop of the car

There a little better

Last time on the original frame

 

[hoitink]

Did a mock up of her today to see how the suspension will go and room for the motor and what not looks pretty good I think lol

Nice project! I like how you have turned it into, for the lack of a better term, an extended cab truck.

Is that the engine you will be using?

Really like where you're going with this, make sure you keep us posted. Thanks for all the great pics.

I like it. Now wondering how you are going to handle the rear section of the body. It has a great look to it already. Keep the pic's coming.[P

i like it man... thats some good work.. i have seen one other one done kinda like that.. but i dont think it stared as a 4 door like yours..

 

[Gastrick]

Super nice. You're not going to put that ugly engine in that car are you

 

[Arrowood Rod & Kustom]

I liked the body before, never been a fan of cutting up a body like that..but it'll be interesting to see how this turns out maybe you'll change my mind

 

[Wrinkles]

Really cool! I like a guy who's not afraid to cut one up some and be different.

Keep us posted on the progress

wow

really creative!!!...can you post some pics of your frame build

 

[hoitink]

So got a little done on the frame seems that as I built a new shop I have less time to work on my own stuff lately lol

First I had to gut the floor out of the car.

The start of the frame

I originally had the rails strait but changed that as I wanted to channel the car and need to lower my seats in the frame rails if need be.

Front frame rails

 

[old bone]

frame relief cuts

once again fresh thinking....what did u use to cut the relief cuts on the forward part of you frame to make the bend....i dunno a picture is worth a thousand words but what did you use for a blade and how the hell did you figure where to cut to get the swooping arch on that frame....did you have a frame table or did you wing it?....i just scored a model a pick up and have to build a frame there are just so many ways to skin that cat..are you doing a high boy or are you gonna do a slight channel? ..what are you using for bones?....what do you use to pin the bones to the axle?...im trying to avoid the speedway catalog as much as possible....sorry for all the questions ...but this is what it all about.....thanks im gonna be all over this build!!!
