    23 Roadster build

     



    Not much to start with, but it's a start. 23 Dodge touring sedan cut down to a two door. Picking up the rolling chassis tonight - late model rear of some sort, front Ibeam with disk brakes. Radiator and 305 also comes with. Picks of the mockup soon to follow.

    Very cool body. I love the mockup stage, it's my favorite part of the build. You get to put engines up on concrete blocks, wood under other parts, and masking tape to hold it all together. Then you can sit back in you pondering chair and dream. If you don't like the look you just push stuff around a little.

    Keep the pictures coming, we love these projects.

    Got some mocked up this weekend, don't know exactly what I'll do with the suspension yet. Maybe a four link rear?

    Me too, and you are going to have some leg room in there with that stretched body.
