    got to get that front to show sucide it, when i said skinning tires maybe not the ones you got but something like a 7.00 -15 tall and skinny with steel wheels. how about just a rear bumper and how huge is this bumper, now as for melting over chrome you have me thinking thats for sure

    I kinda like the paint job it has right now. It's interesting! Seems to me like flat black is being done to death. Are you painting it yourself?
    Love your engine choice. Different.
    Big fat tall tires in the back would look sweet. With skinnys on the front.

    This car has a good start and a lot of potential. If you use your resources wisely, you'll have a rare vehicle that ventures outside the norm. Whether you rat rod it or hot rod it, she'll be an eye catcher. Good luck and keep us posted.

    I am late on this one but oh well... That car would be nice smoothed out and get the door height even with the rear, etc. Add some chrome to the grille and windshield posts, paint it a nice gloss black, metallic blue, or some kind of GLOSS or Metallic color and then some salt flat wheels or Halibrands. Cheater slicks would look awesome too. Don't trash it and take the fenders and everything off. You have the front ones and the hood, etc so USE THEM. Now if you didn't have those things then yeah go ahead and leave em off. Too many rat rods around, do something DIFFERENT, especially since it's a Dodge. There is no excuse that you have to build it into a rat rod because of money issues. That is just an excuse people use... Gloss paint, Halibrands or something similar, plain rolled vinyle interior, etc. At lease those are my oppinions since I have a sweet image in my head of what that would look like if it were mine. I actually might draw something up of that next week and send it to you if you want. But really do what you like, it's your car and your going to be the one driving it.
    I'll roll off the soapbox now....
