It is steel, except for the deck lid(if anyone has a steel deck lid for sale I may be interested). This is an older thread so I have since discovered that the body is actually a 34 Dodge coupe.
Thanks for the on the drivetrain. I can't wait to get her on the road!

I don't think Arno ever had fenders for it and believe he plans to run fenderless.

The more I see the 32-34 Mopars, the more I like them. I have a 30 Model A that I am going to rod (using a Mopar drivetrain). But there's a part of me that thinks I might be better off selling it and getting an early Mopar. My only hesitation is that I want to do a hot rod knockoff of the Ramblin Wreck (from Georgia Tech) - which is a 30 Model A Sport Coupe. Then again, most people wouldn't know the difference if it bit them in the rear.

I'm going to have to ponder it all some more.

GTXperience is correct. I never had fenders and I am going fenderless on the car. When I bought the car I was told it was a 34 Plymouth. I traced the body numbers and determined it to be a 34 Dodge.

Thanks for the
I actually found the 392 on Craigslist. The ad just said, 392 Hemi, excellent. $5,000. I called the guy and he started telling me everything in it and I jumped in the car to take a look. It had everything he said so I bought it. He gave me receipts with it that totaled over $10,000. I will know if I got a deal or not when I fire it.

Wow, $500 bucks...........What are they going for these days? I haven't keeped up on it awhile. The last time I looked on ebay they were around $2000 needing rebuilt.

Back 97 I got mine for $325 or $350(can't remember now)......there is no way I would sell it for that cause I couldn't replace it for that.

Good deal Ron!
You just have to promise you won't finish yours before I finish mine.
The front end is 32 style bought from TCI. I also picked up the 32 crossmember from them. I'm not sure what spring I have but TCI was aware that a 392 hemi was going to be sitting on top of it. Is there anything in particular you want to see regarding the front suspension? I can take more pics.
Congrats again on keeping the 34!
Arno

thanks for the Info Arno
I have been looking at 32 ford frame rail and want to do an axle setup like yours, no special pics needed, I just like seeing how these frontends are put together, its been a lot of years since i ran one and the ones I had were parallel leafs and axle. Ron...
