Mpgp1999 Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 In a few weeks I will begin to work on the car. I am in the process of moving now. When I get to my new home I will have a barn and plenty of room to work on it. I am trying to get it ready for the Penn Yan Dodge Brothers tour I plan to drive it under its own power there and back. It’s about a two hour car ride in modern iron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpgp1999 Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Just now, old car fan said: What go you need. I need to begin to tear it down before I know exactly what I need. I will need a new door and fender to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will make your life a 1,000 times better. Take part off the old frame and put on the new frame. If it does not fit on the new frame, is the part damaged? That will help you get a car that should drive correctly. Just IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpgp1999 Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) I would need a new fan, Right fender, door handles, at least “new” door hardware, passenger running board. Interior floorboards, toe board. I believe everything else I should be able to repair. I may end up putting on some other doors in the meantime while I can get mine repaired and painted. I’m sure the window regulators may be messed up. Fortunately the headlights and Cowl lights are undamaged. I will most likely need lots of hammers and dollies to repair the dents. I may find some spare doors to throw on until I can get around to repairing mine. Edited September 13, 2022 by Mpgp1999 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpgp1999 Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 I decided to do a ground up restoration on the car. I need to disassemble everything get everything down to bare metal repair what is needed then paint and reassemble. I’m going to see if I can get the parts car running and driving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
