    Newbie saying gooday from Oz.

     



    A big hi from downunder. Elmore. Victoria Australia.

    As my username suggests, I have a 1927 Dodge Brothers Tourer (in pieces).

    I have a good chassis, cowl, mint tub and mint front and rear doors.

    Very good bonnet and sides.

    I have a 318 motor and a 904 transmission (yet to be installed).

    Will probably install a borg warner rear end (ex Chrysler Valiant) 3.23.1 ratio.

    For the front end I am considering either a HK Holden or a Ford Cortina.

    Wheels are 15x7' and 15x8' chromies with baby moon caps.

    Front tyres are 225.60.15 and rears are 275.60.15.

    First on my agenda is to fully box the chassis then steel out the body.

    The chassis and cowl are 1927.

    The doors and tub are 1925. (only difference is swage line on cowl) may remove this to match doors and tub.

    Mick.

    Welcome to CHR Mick, have you considered XJ6 Jaguar for the front suspension?
    Cheap as chips, (around the Aus$200 - $300 mark,) robust and easy to fit, power steering and disc brakes....a cheap and easy fix.
    Just my 2c worth.
