db17 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 This is my project for how ever it takes me to finish.A 1917 Dodge Touring car. frame # 134646, (build sometime between, Feb.25 and Mar.27 1917. Firewall # T130559Got it in Dallas in several boxes. I have most of the car except for what I come up short with when I'm trying toput it together. Seems like the small parts are the hardest to find.Here are a few pictures of what I have put together so far.Thanks!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durant Mike Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Keep us posted on the restoration process with pictures. Everyone on the forum loves to see what others are doing with their restorations. Keeps us motivated on ours. Looks like a great car and will be a good one to have when restored.

TexRiv_63 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Nice car, looks like great raw material. Do you have all the running gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db17 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Yes I have the tranny, engine, axles. Some are in need of overhauling and some will need to re replaced. But for the most part its all there. Problem I see in the future is when I start putting everything together what I will find missing. As I mentioned I got the car in boxes.Thanks for the interest.

dei Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 db17,Not to high jack your thread but more to encourage you, this 1928 Whippet Cabriolet took my dad 28 years to complete but having two other antique cars, stuck with it! It was not complete at all in this picture, parts came from the East Coast to the West Coast and as far south as Florida so..... hang in there! Some day she will be finished! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan arnett (2) Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Do you have a parts manual? Project is looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) DB17, there is a man in (Colorado?) that has a ton of DB cars, parts, etc. He would be an excellent source for any missing parts. Connect with me, and I'll look up his name and address. I think his name is Gene French. Also, I'm looking to match my back wheel hubs, but I'm not sure which one I need for my 1918 DB. Would you have a photo that shows your 1917 hub? Willy Edited October 26, 2018 by Willy added photos (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Macartney Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Keep posting how you are getting on. It will help you and the information will also be of help to others. I'm a fairly new member, but have learnt a lot from this great forum, although I have been restoring cars for more years than I care to remember.
