    1929 Dodge Blown Gas Coupe

     



    Im new to the forum so hopefully Ill get the hang of posting on here. Ive been a bit over a year into my build, its a 29 Dodge 5w Coupe. Im building with that 60s drag style, Im not going to be perfectly period correct but close. It will be powered by a blown injected 468 inch 392. Ive been crazy busy for over a year doing the bodywork, it was beyond a mess, close to going to paint now, with almost zero filler I might add. Ill post pics as soon as I figure out how....

    Welcome, sounds like a great project.

    As far as posting pictures, personally I just use photobucket and post the pictures from there.
    I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

    Wow, awesome looking Coupe but, hell mate, you forgot the front brakes, with all them horses to pull up surely you ain't relying on rear brakes only with grooved slicks ? Does the Dodge Coupes have flush fitted doors from factory or have you you accomplished that while doing the bodywork ?
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    Thanks Mate! No, my front brakes are still on backorder, supposedly next week. The doors Im told are flush mount, but mine were so beyond wasted that I couldn't tell, so I just made door jambs to accommodate them as flush.
