1925 dodge - DONE

[landman]

I discovered he had forgotten to make up an exhaust system.

The owner told me the running boards will be wood with a wooden molding along the edge.

Added spare tire and tailight/licence plate.

I am looking forward to seeing the finished product!

 25 Dodges have a triangular plate with a vertical post to hold the headlights to the fenders. Some, including the subject car have a cross bar as well. The Ford fenders are not allowing me to duplicate the bracket faithfully so I cheated and mounted the headlights on vertical stanchions with a cross bar.

Oh, so close.  Looks great.

the owners real '25 Dodges are going to be really outraged that you cheated on that detail. You should accept the fact that hate mail will follow:)

Tom, are those the sames ones who were going to berate me for not having the correct amount of wheel lugs in your Jan 15 post.

The Dodge is done. Getting the once over in the shop.

Getting loaded onto the trailer.

Outside the shop in the afternoon and at dusk.

Congrats Pat, super job.

[Eric Macleod]

Glad it cleared the garage door opening! Looks great Pat. Worth the wait I hope?

[misterNNL]

Don't you love it when a plan comes togeather !

[landman]

Thanks guys. looks like I'm not quite done. the owner of the 1:1 reminded me of the sun visor. He also said he is planning to install a whole wheel as a spare and not just the rim. Says he doesn't like the looks of the rim by itself.

Are you anywhere near that storm Brian?

The bulk of the rain just stopped a couple of hours ago, but still rain showers. There are several roads flooded including the road between me and my mother-in-laws. We live less than a mile off of High Rock Lake. The Yadkin river feeds the lake and the forecast is for the South Yadkin to crest at 33 feet above flood stage. That's why I'm still up, I've been trying to figure out how high my house is above lake level. It looks like about 40 feet. Praying that there is no more flooding!

Thanks for asking!

Looks really nice Pat, well done.

[Foxer]

Beautiful! It was a pleasure watching this come together.

It did but it looks like I'm going to have to add two windows to that door.

[landman]

Switched the rim & tire for a wheel and tire as it is what the owner will install.

Not sure what your modelling skills are, because this would be a very involved project, but I'd start with a 28-29 Ford A and a '27 Ford T coupe for the body.

I know this is after the fact. But when this thread was fresh, I knew there was a turtledeck in a kit that is very close in size and shape, but couldn't recall at the time which one. So for anyone looking to do something similar, look in the Lindberg 34 (really a 32) Ford Roadster pickup kit.
