Hey Gossp,
I'm right down the road from you in Morocco, IN. Need some more DB's??? 😁
If they have serial numbers below 45,001… yep. My dad needs one to break him out of his model t phase.

You seem to be collecting quite a group of earlies.
I spent 25 years trying to buy an early Dodge Brothers and now I need to figure out how to stop! -
71540 on the frame so may of 16.
This will just serve as a distraction from the 15 I want to be working on. Likely going to play with it long enough to make it go and stop and then pass it on.

You might want to call your utility company. Ours put in a WiFi/ remote thermostat for us for FREE. Saves energy.
The free stats from the utility company generally come with the feature of browning out your ac during peak use times. Not a big deal for people at work during the hottest part of the day but can be a frustration for the retired.

I don’t understand why you would be arrested for carrying a cell phone along the Erie Canal.
Because people were supposed to stay at home and quarantine. Some states were more strict than others. The cell phone connection is only that big brother might be tracking the location. Seems like a stretch to me, but I didn’t find it hard to follow.

Would there be adhesion concerns with the frame base color being a year old? I would feel like I needed to sand, spray base again, and clear shortly after. My paint knowledge is far from professional and I am hoping for people to tell me I am wrong, I bet Mike is hoping the same.

How much wire and replaced sheetrock would the average 50+ year house need for this update?
If you have at least 4 wires (more is better) going to the thermostat and a wireless router capable of getting a reliable signal to the stat: none.

I would like to have a remote thermostat in the house. Every time my wife turns it up I could get a notice on my phone and reverse the decision!
All modern stats have a “temperature offset” that I call the “wife button”. It alters the display temp to be a chosen +\- 1-5 degrees from the actual temperature. It doesn’t end thermostat arguments, but allows you to publicly lose and privately win.-

The Wi-Fi thermostats are wonderful for a detached workshop. I leave mine about 50 when not in the shop but when I find out I am going to have some free time to sneak off to the garage, I can bump it up from wherever I am. First thing I do when I find out I am getting off work a little early: get out my phone and warm the garage up! The Honeywell home app also tracks run time so you can see how much the heat and air really runs when you are not around. There are a few neat tricks it has for dehumidification if you have an ac attached. I am an HVAC tech so I put in a lot of these things. The app is honestly more intuitive and easy to use than most modern stats.

Maybe a hair dryer would be safe and reasonably controllable heat level?
A heated blanket does a good job in the absence of sun. Just make sure you buy the wife a new one before taking the old one to the garage.
As for how much sun it takes, a black tire will get fairly warm to the touch on a sunny 55 degree day.

Past experience witnessing how antique cars in a dealership showroom are treated by the public.
My 15 dodge was owned by a dealership from 1937-1967 and has been hit or hit something with every side and corner. It seems like everyone that wanted to try to drive it got a chance… I hope they kept it away from the lot in the foreword look years!

That video or one like it comes up quite often. Although real and neat as hell, the cost of the laser greatly exceeds the value of most cars you want help removing rust from. Last number I saw was 53k for one a little smaller than you would want for heavy work.

Two tone fail.
You beat me to it but you needed quoted just so everyone can read it twice.
Good or bad paint quality, it needs painted.

I am going to give a wild guess for the sake of wild guesses, because I have no knowledge and limited interest in a car like this… but beer at Hershey was mentioned and that interest me: 4.75 million.

As a guy that makes a living with 18v Milwaukee tools in my hands, I will say that those stupid drills are by far the weakest thing in the lineup. I use a drill the least and replace them the most. While they work they do have more guts than most corded hammer drills though.
Also, for Mike, even if building your own box to blast in you will want the TP vacuum and dust collection. The difference is amazing and allows us to sandblast frequently right next to restored cars. By the time you buy that and a few other pieces… you are likely pretty close to getting a full system.

Phil is such an interesting guy. I throughly enjoyed a day with he and his wife many years ago. I do hope for the best for him.

They are actually a very fun little car to putter around in. Enjoy the new toy!

That Dodge Brothers has not moved in a very, very long time.
Actually, I recently got it as a complete car but the body was so rusted that no tools were required to remove the front seat, only a couple bolts to get the rear tub off (the bottom of the rear tub is somewhat still on the frame in my garage) and then a half dozen bolts between front fenders and cowl. I carried the five pieces over and placed them around the tree by myself as not a one of them exceeds 100lbs. I would have loved to have saved the car, but many others will benefit from it coming apart, and a very nice 15 dodge can be bought for a lot less money than it would take to make this one a car again.

Someone has to loose money at a no reserve auction, that seller in never interviewed.
One of the shows did show this once: a very upset seller because his no reserve car brought way under his expectations… for drama sake they even had a bidder upset at the auction company ignoring his bid on the same car. I want to say it was even at BJ. -

Do you have any idea WHY it was painted that way? I would think someone had a special purpose for it, business colours, etc.
It does look like what has been done was done very well, which is the shame of it.
Not sure how they even got the couch in there??
I thought maybe one of the colours could be salvage but the only thing I would use would be the top and the belt trim. That leaves about 89.9% of the rest of the car that needs corrected.
I didn’t get any specifics or speak to anyone about it, aside from perhaps some trash talk with others in the vicinity… but I sure do remember that I saw it. -
I did about 600 highway miles behind the wheel of a Pierce 12 several years ago and would not have minded driving through the night and doubling that number… but then again, I wasn’t paying for the gas.

This car lives about three hours from me and I have seen it with my own eyes. The pictures do not do the car any justice, it is way worse in person.

Might take a bit to get that unstuck. What is it?
1915 Dodge Brothers. The body is far too rough to save, but will make decent yard art for a while as I scavenge remaining little bits off of it. It is in three easy to carry sections right now.

The bursars office at my daughters university says I should be buying them in zeros.
