Boy I love the look of that car. I own a 4 door Royal and called it sexy, with the comment of a 4 door being sexy came with a 2 door vs 4 door appearance discussion. Your car looks like a 4 door with only 2. I love it.
-
Quick question, could you wire one in a 49 royal to bypass the vacuum switch on the carburator instead of flooring the pedal. On a car that didn't come with the magic button of course.

It's not a Dodge but a very interesting jeep
-
And a red express

There was a 51 Cranbrook that left before I got a pic

Nice Dodge brother's car at today's show
-
I was thinking about a small thin silver pinstripe at the windshield bottom on the a post
-
If I could afford a nice Fulton visor then maybe up top would be better. I think I'm going to go from the vent up the a pillars and around the doors to the gutter but include the gutter.
-
So I laid out my idea for the cowl. No comments on prep work I'm not done there just getting ideas. I think using the vent for the line then the pinstripe won't look to buisy up there.
-
I think I'm leaning towards at the drip edge and leaving the complete door blue. Maybe do the whole cowling white. Not sure yet. Are there other members with pics besides adam h and his wonderful job.

Around the rear would be easy on my car since there is trim. I see the issue on the front. That I will have to tackle when I get there. The biggest decision is do I stop at the dripedge above the doors and leave the complete door blue or do I carry it down to the trim below the window
-
This is the blue I'm choosing, with an article white
-
So I'm going to paint my car a light blue similar to the original color. But I'm thinking to paint the roof white. I was thinking painting from dripedge up leaving the door surrounds blue. I see that Adam h painted from the trim at the body line up which was my other thought. I'm checking to see what you guys think looks better.
-
That is a great job. It wasn't the one I was looking for but it will help. The thread I'm thinking of has an older gentleman that and I think his grandchild helping in a video. Withen the last year. I searched in the search section and went through 56 Paige's of threads with no avail
-
So some time ago I member posted his own experience using stain and paint to have the appearance of wood on his window surrounds but I can't find the topic, does anyone have the link. I would like to try this. Any help would be appreciated.

Found out today what I am NOT doing with my 50 Dodge
Hickory replied to Grdpa's 50 Dodge's topic in P15-D24 Forum
In the past 5 months, and a full time job, I have had time to rebuild the engine, tranny, new rear brakes, a homemade disk brake conversion with dual master and lines. I've done a complete rewire and alot of body work. Being very resourceful I've have done it all for about $2k. All while taking care of 3 kids. I think you should go to a regular garage for drivability issues and some other tinkering maybe yourself. Then enjoy the vehicle. Anything is possible if your set to do it. -

I have got the oil leaks under control. Today I made the trip to another car show. Free BBQ causing a large outcome. With 300 plus cars entered you would hope for a better list of awards. Very enjoyable show and meet many people.

I don't know about harmfull microwaves but I'd like to see a kurege coffee maker
-
Right front. The wife thought I drove into the ditch when the wheel came off. Really the ditch.....lol. lug nuts where tight I guess heavy braking and 70 yr old steel, I don't know
-
Even more shocking is I found a junk yard open down the road with a new 56 Chrysler Newport rim on the shelf. Still made it to the Nationals before lunch.
-
But when I pulled over and the tire fell off. I was shocked to what I found.
-
And a mishap on Saturday morning, it felt like the tire was coming loose after cranking on the binders when a fed-ex tractor trailer pulled out in front of me.
