Thread: 33 dodge 4 dr into 2 dr project

Tweet

When I was younger and belonged to another forum
I posted up some pics of my model T tudor and everyone
kept telling me to build an rpu. Thats what everyone
over there was building and they thought that everybody
else should have one. So I am here to say don't build an rpu

I personally like the pic on the bottom left. Another option is to
leave it a four door like this ford below. Either way you go with it,
two door or four door it looks like it'll be a cool rod.
What engine do you plan to use?

small block chevy since l still have a bunch of them from when l retired from circle track racing,, have 3 or 4 sittin' in the shop.. 700 R4 and a 9" rearend,, i f s 'couse l like the way they handle and if enough cash flow a 4 link rearend setup,,, if not then leaf rear will have to work,, thanks. later

WOW !! Now that is thinking outside the box .

My opinion too, picture in lower left. Really different, but looks like a natural. Nice body either way. Cool. Perley

was out lookin at the dodge today and the kids ashed if they could help. so l told my nieces, sure, l handed a can of fire engine red and painted everything below the body line, well, it's red

mocked up the wheels l plan one runing.

ya that is my dwarf car made into my street car, have a few more things to finish b4 l can drive it. the car is titled in washington as a 1931 chevy coupe.. l take it to shows and let the kids sit inside, parent's think it's a blast and the camera's are a flashin'!

the 33 dodge--- l found a cirlce track frame/chassis/ all in one with a full roll cage and suspension that l want to set the 33 body on, make it like the car in my avitar.so it looks like a old looking jalopy race car, paint it bright red and put a sponser and numbers on it and drive the heck outta her. it'll 100% street legal, titled and licensed. no fenders, just a hood and grill.
l will have to cut and modify the chassis but, l can get it a lot cheaper than building one, the mods to it are not that many to make it fit since l am cutting the body l can make it fit the 95'' wheel base. gotta love customizing things.

You gonna take a 4 door, and cut it down into a coupe race car ? That sounds like a helluva project. Are you young enough to start a project that big ?
I saw a 34 Chrysler 4 door couple of years ago that was made into a sedan delivery. They used a PT Cruiser door for the rear. The car was beautiful, and the guy said he and his son did all the work in there home garage, including the painting. He said they did it all except the upholstery. Wish I had a picture to post for you.
PS..I envy your vision and obvious talent.

Here is the four door conversion I'm doing on my Model A. I'm in the process of removing all the wood and replacing with a metal skeleton. Then I will build a frame jeg and start on the frame. I joined the front and back doors adding 10" to the rear. channeled three inches and chopped three :untitled.JPG
