1931 Chrysler CD8 Roadster update


Gunsmoke

Recommended Posts

Making some progress on the rebuild of my barnfind Chrysler CD8 Roadster, thanks to help from all quarters. Rob hunted down the Sedan donor car and hope to get this engine started soon (my mechanic is on injured reserve!). Meanwhile, using the rear quarter K31 once found in Oregon as a guide in modifying the sedan rear fenders to suit a Roadster. Note that sedan body was about 8" wider than a Roadster and fenders narrower as a result. I've added about 3.5". Finally the rumble seat toeboard was cut off in 2 places so I had to make the new pieces shown and spot weld together. Thanks David for the photos to show the correct construction.
