Update on the 1928 Dodge Brothers Victory Six 5 Window Coupe. Put in the Break Lines, Break Cylinders, Gas Line & Gas Tank. Also rebuilt the Master Break Cylinder & working on figuring out how to restore the Gas Gauge that is mounted on the rear on the gas tank. I am using the original one from the car and another spare for parts to hopefully make one good one, may need to make or find a part two to complete it. Will give you an update on the gas gauge when I get more done. Also getting ready for the first test drive
Hope you enjoy, see you soon...

Made a start back on my engine rebuild this morning with fitting my lifters and went to fit the valves, The brand new valves I bought to suit my engine have different valve collet mounts. So it all came to a grinding halt again. My new rings and c clips should be here on Monday. Seems people just sell shit saying it’s for our engines and cars without a hole lot of research. This is the third time I’ve been held up because of wrong parts. Never mind I guess.
so I went on with my upper and lower radiator panels. These are tricky little things to make as simple as they look. After a couple of attempts I got them close enough to original I think. Not a perfect match but pretty close for what they are.
Sorry fir the problems but it will all work out. The radiator panels look great my friend.

I think I would swish some light oil, maybe even cooking oil around in it. That will keep it from rusting until you put gas back in it and start driving. But with you and Matt, racing to get finished that could be in a week or two.
Thank you 😊

Looking for advice, Just cleaned out my gas tank with vinegar and then rinsed with water and used a blow dryer to dry it out. It only had some surface rust. Was very clean, just a few spider webs. I have a light that goes inside to see all around, I looked good to start with and seems after cleaning out. But before I install it on the car, looking for and advice / suggestions of what folks do if I should do more? I don't really want to use that liner stuff I hear about?.. Thanks for any advice.

Wow. I thought for a second then looked at the car, it went over my head. 🤣🤣

If I am not mistaken, The victory six had a flange of sorts along the sides that bolted thru the sides of the chassis.
I don't see this flange on this coupe body. Mine is a sedan and highly modified.
But that tin was rotten on my body so I couldn't reattach it to the frame. The car was rough and disassembled when I got it.
I will post a picture of how I welded a strap to the A, B, and at the lower end of the curve of the C pillar so that I could channel the body over the frame and use those same holes in the chassis to bolt that strap thus leaving my suspension relatively high with the body lowered radically.
In real life these orange sills would be at the top of the frame. (eight inch's channeled)
Sorry if this doesn't belong here but I see that body to frame question was asked.
On an original Victory Six, yes there are flanges bolted on top of the frame about 12" long and a lip over the edge about an inch or 1.5" wide that the floor boards lay on. I will get some pics for you.

What is the thickness of the metal in the frame? Can you describe how the body is attached to the frame? As I understand it the frame doubles as the threshold of the body and that the body is set into the frame rather than on top of it. Is that correct?
I am trying to write an article on the Dodge 1928, digging deeper into the engineering of the body and chassis than in the article I got published in Hemmings. It would be great if I could use your excellent pictures of the frame, especially the one with the frame painted in base coat. It makes the design very clear.
The Body is Set on the frame, with the front and rear sitting on the frame and the side below the door come down on the side and are bolted on. I will have some pictures in the near future. Message me with what ever pictures you want & will will try and get them for you. ( tclmagic@mac.com )

Making some headway with the 1928 Dodge Brothers Victory Six 5 Window Coupe. Rebuilding all the breaks and installing them in the frame. And found out the rubber boots on the tie rod ends were not correct and should be leather, so good friend Mike from Bay Country Upholstery in Annapolis was so kind to give me a piece of leather so I could make them. Also started on the redoing the steering wheel with some great advice from another friend Mat Meeks in Melbourne
Austrailia, he is amazingly talented. Also ran all the coper break lines & started restoring the gas tank.

Starting on the Sandblasting of the frame and having to rebuild the Speedometer. Lucky, I sold a parts car to a good friend Elton and he was so kind to give me the Dash cluster out of that car and I was able to take the mine apart and use the casting from the one he gave me to rebuild it, Works great, forgot to take a picture of it done, will upload later.

there isn’t one. If it is a prewar car I would post to the CCCA forum here, or for any year the RROC club forum. The later requires being a member of the club.Thank you, I am a member of RR owners club.

I purchassed that 28 victory Six from Niles Thomas and still have it. Pic below is with Niles when I got the car, It still runs great, Love the car. I also have a few other Dodge Brothers cars. I am getting close to finishing a 1928 Phantom I Rolls Rolls Royce and then will start a complete restoration on my 1928 Dodge Brothers 5 Window coupe, I am hoping to come close to what you are doing and what Bill Gess has done. You do Great Work. Just found your blog thanks to Doug Walters. Looking forward to following your progress. Thanks for Sharing...
