Who knows their pre 32 mopars?
My wife has been wanting her own ride for a while now and I stumbled onto this old body. I got it from a friend and he was told it was a 1927 Dodge. From what little research I have done, I don't believe it is a 1927. I think it is a 1930 Dodge Sport Sedan because there is all steel structure, and the lower cowl vents seem to be on the 1930 models only from the pics I have searched. I don't have a frame or anything else for it and I don't know where the serial number tag is supposed to be located. Plans are to make it into a hot rod but keep it looking old.
I am going to try to find a front passenger door, windshield frame, and I have thoughts of using Model A fenders on it because those should be easier to source. Are there any other cars that the parts night interchange with? Desoto maybe?
Also, what suspension and front axle should I be looking to use? This is going to be a cruiser that will have an 1100lb engine in it. My plan is to build the frame out of 2"x3" 3/16 wall tube. She wants fenders and running boards as well. I did get a frame with the body but I believe it is a Model A frame. Any info on these would be awesome. Thanks Ryan.
