33 Dodge coupe
Hi Guys,
I'm rebuilding a 33 Dodge that my husband and I put together about 25 years ago. It was built to look like the American Grafetti coupe with a 327 and a 32 Ford grill shell. I.m going to replace the transmission and the front end. I've torn out the interior and started sanding down the paint.

Cool. Post some pictures as you go along.........we LOVE pictures. :D:D

I changed my avatar to show the coupe in 1992. It won't be yellow any more.

Hey Marcia-------Good going. People will love this thread. Did you get the front axle assembly today? Happy Thanksgiving. Perley :)

Ground some of the rivits off the cross member.

The front end is out. I'm going to bolt in a temporary ladder bar and remove the cross member.

Put some more primer on the back, just playing around.

Well, I found the problem with the front end I was going to put under the coupe. It's a Chevy!!!
Well, that won't work.
Back to square one.

The cross member is out. Got the front of the frame braced up good.
Took the steering box off this morning and the column is out.
It looks like I will be taking the body off the frame. I really didn't want to do that.

Christmas has kept me from working on the car. Waiting for some parts to arrive. I'll get back to it in a few weeks.

Hey Speedy, try a Volare front end, should measure up pretty good for you. Unless your looking for a straight axle, any Dodge truck up till 48 have great
4" drop axles, there's even an aftermarket disc conversion..
-
The front end arrived. Now to put all those pieces together. Going to have a smaller gas tank made. Has anyone used hi build primer?
-
So I'm anxious to know what kind of "front end" you purchased!?
I'm working on a '32 as well.
Thanks.

I went with Fatman's MII. They make it to fit my 33 Dodge frame. My friends who are helping to install it, have installed a few from them and and say it is the way to go.
What are you planning on doing with yours?

Today the Gustafson brothers welded the cross member and the top hats onto the frame. A real mile stone.
