I see a lot of similarities with my '39. My heater is a "HaDees" as well. You don't see a lot of these cars around, at least not around here. I've only ran into one other '39 Dodge at a local car show, and it had been modified under the hood. I saw one '40 Dodge for sale in a car corral at a local show, and it was pretty rough but restorable.
Hey, do you have any pictures of the restored heater? Even a writeup explanation of it would be great.

Would anyone say it's possible to restore the originals? I was thinking maybe some kind of solder?

It'll be a fun restore!
I think it will be, on a related note, does anyone have any tips for the metal restoration around the headlights and the hood ornament? They are both pretty badly pitted.

Time for some pictures, just got it to its temporary home for the next couple months.
The cracks you see in the windshield were when the car was parked on the street in the 60's some kids shot it with a BB gun.

The 39 - 42 Dodges are fine automobiles, but they are orpfans. The Chrysler clubs seem to be more concerned with later cars and the Dodge Brothers don't want them. Pity.
Really? Well we should make our own section! To be fair though, the 38 dodge is beautiful.

Be patient. It only took me 37 years to find my carburetor for my '31 Dodge. With the internet, things will go faster for you.
HAH, thanks for the vote of confidence.
On a serious note though, do you have specific years for interchangeable parts?

I think the !940 Dodge is the classicist car ever built (next to 1938 Dodge). Had one once and sorry I got rid of it. Andy Bernbalm has most of the usual parts you might need. Good luck.( Dodge Brothers should have included it in the club)
I agree, those are the two better looking years in my opinion.

Here is Andy's site...Andy Bernbaum Auto Parts for Chrysler's cars from 30s to 70s
Jeez, he's really light on the 1940 Dodge. Does that model year have another make/model that it's interchangeable with for parts? Mechanical and/or Trim and accessories?

Jason, I must make a small correction to what you said. This forum says "DODGE and Dodge Brothers". Yes....Dodge Brothers cars were only made until 1938, but this forum includes Dodges that are newer. Otherwise, it would only say Dodge Brothers.
Just to add...if you are accessing this forum through the "Dodge Brothers Club", as soon as you go to "Discussion Forum", it splits off into the "Antique Automobile Club of America". Then it includes all Dodges.
Yeah I saw the distinction between Dodge Brothers and Dodge, so I knew there might be some people here who would have one.

Thanks for the info, anybody else have any recommendations?

Hello Everybody,
This is my first post to the forum and I will be restoring a 1940 Dodge Deluxe, I believe it is a D-14, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with resources for it. Mainly I'd like to know if anyone has restored a dash on one of these before. Or get in contact with anyone else that has restored similarly this model car. I've attached a picture of what I'll be working with, thanks for reading this!

What is your experience with rechroming parts, the other member said it's easy to tell when something has to be rechromed and that you can lose detail easily. I'm assuming he meant like the lines engraved into the rams horns on the hood ornament.
