I finally figured out how to get my pictures sized right to post them on here so I thought I would upload one plus give a description of the project.

39' Dodge cab
87' Dodge D50 frame
70' Mustang 8"
74' Mustang II crossmember
80's Dodge Omni rear steer rack and pinion
29' Dodge grill shell
30' Chrysler headlights
67' Barracuda /6 (out of my 67' Barracuda)
65' Mustang radiator
69' Plymouth A-body pedal assembley
48' Ford bedsides shortened 20"

Nice! Awesome that you used the slant 6 to power it.

@ crazyjjk, thank you! The /6 looks right at home in there too. I'm building it to be my shop truck and to cruise to shows. It should ride real nice on the freeway. I made a custom mount and modified the alternator tension bracket so the alternator sits behind the grill shell on the drivers side. Kinda evened out the motor side to side.

Looks like a fun project.
The rad shell looks funny with the big opening on the top. If it was mine, I'd probably either lower the rad shell, section it (take some out of the middle and bring the top and bottom closer together), or add a filler piece on the top, or any combo of each. Gene

@ poorboy, the plan is to fill the area above the radiator. I'm still in the fabrication process and haven't got to that point yet. Good eye though.

Get out the 3/4" masking tape and string some lines from cowl to grille shell. That'll help you figure it out.

What a nice project..

@ Webster, thank you! I'm really happy with how it's coming out.

Cool..check out my 41 on here..somewhere

Very cool project!

Finally got back to work on the 40' Dodge hotrod. Had a driveshaft made, cut floor and welded in driveshaft and trans tunnel along with floor. Welded in upper filler panel for radiator. Installed all new rear brakes and drums. Installed master cylinder. Installed shifter. Just ordered brake line kit with proportioning valve and residual valves so that's next. It already runs with my make shift wiring, so after brake lines are done I should be able to move it in and out of the garage. [img:center][/img]

Also chopped the top 3 1/2" with the help of Ron Padsiadly. It looks so much more in proportion with the chop.

That looks great, Pat!
