34 Chrysler

[wahoo172]

Here is a few pictures of the Chrysler I am destroying... I mean building.
The pictures show progession from stock four door and restorable sedan to the one of one car I envision.
I am going to run it fenderless, channeled 4 inches, no chop, air bag over straight axle.
I will use the wheels that are on the front end in the first pic with hubcaps. Dana 60 with a triangulated 4 bar and bags, 727 (unless I find a deal on a stick trasmission)

I am going to use aluminum heads on the 426, but I will paint them and the valve covers that same as the rest of the engine (426 decals on em). I have a torker manifold for a RB and will use a demon carb. I have not decided for sure about headers, I am leaning toward fenderwell. I hope I can get enough radiator in the 34 grill shell to cool the beast.

I have fixed the rear window openings and top openings but dont have those pix handy. I am trying to build a bigger shop now, thats part of the reason The chassis isnt done yet.

You did a great job turning it into a 2 dr. Are you sure you don't want to chop it? What ever you do it's looking good so far.[cl

 

[rockb1]

Nice! Looks like you have a nice start. Cant wait to see more

 

[rainman]

Nice work I'm curious about chop plans also? Looks good so far.

Looking good so far. Love the conversion from 2 to 4 door.

Wow, I can't believe how well it looks like it's going to fit together. You are right it doesn't need a chop (but maybe like 2" would look kinda cool!). Great to see another MoPar guy. That's gonna be so freakin' awesome!

 

[Ratcrazy]

Excellent craftsmanship. [cl Your metal work is awesome.

Please keep us posted on this build. [P

As good as this build looks now have you thought about maybe making a panel truck out of it? Either this thing is SWEET!!!![dr

I have the same identical car but mine is a Dodge, called a Dodge DRXX, What model is it in Chrysler? If you come accross a spare hood, I need one. The conversion to a 2 door looks real good, can't wait to see it completed.

Frank, the car is called a CA 6.The body tag is laid out as follows :

BODY NUMBER
344
CA 4 SED

I would love to see pix of your car, I dont know production numbers for Dodge sedans in 34, but Chrysler was very low for non Airflow bodies. All the more reason to cut it up right.

Cool Project. I like the fact that you are staying all Mopar with it. Good luck and keep us posted!

 

[riffraff]

PROJECT CHEAPSHOT is what l named this, tight budget type build on this rat.

here is a few pix of what my 1933 dodge looks like now and one photoshopped of how l want it to look.

mine will have a 1969 325hp 327 chevy, 700R4 and ethier a 12 bolt 3:36 posi out of a 1973 camaro or a 9'' ford rearend. the chevy running gear is the left over of parts and things from racing for 15 years. so l am using what i have a stock pile of///CHEVY STUFF!! hashahahahshahha

like to go bb dodge but can't afford one.

how many inches did you remove?

no fenders for my ride but, i would like to find a hood and l still need a grill of some kind.

do you have pic from the front, mine has a 11 inch windshield top to bottom with about a 9 inch vertical glass viewing area, there is about 1 inch of metal along the top and about 3/4 of a inch on the bottom.

later

its the little things....

I ordered some Gibbs oil last week , it came in the mail today.... WOWOW, this stuff is sooo cool. I sprayed some on the pivot points of my cowl vent, this car had been sitting outside in Canada for many years. I began treating the pivots of the cowl vent when I bought the car from my brother 3 years ago with PB Blaster. I have never been able to get the vent to move, I thought I did once, but it was just bending the steel. I gave the Gibbs oil about 30 minutes and OMG, it is freed up and works like new!!! Thats not the primary reason I bought the oil, read their website and see what all they claim it does... I cant back the rest of the claims up yet, but its an awesome penetrating oil.

Nice job on the 2dr conversion.

update

Today I got the doors off their hinges and did some welding on the passenger side behind the door. I am getting the body ready to take it to the
dipper. They are going to derust the body, I hope to run the exterior of the car in bare metal for a while anyway. I will use Gibbs oil to keep the rust off the exterior.
I also have been making a new cowl vent handle, the original was broken. I welded the OG one, but I think I will use the one I made... its stronger.

It's gonna be great !
