1937 Dodge coupe info needed

[Rodney Bullock]

I have been working on a lady's 1937 Dodge coupe she does not have fender supports under her fenders does anyone know what these look like? I will go to the junk yard to get them if I have to, her fenders flap in the wind when she drives the car. Any help is appreciated:)

Here is what my 37 and 38 Plymouth looks like.

I found one for my Uncle's 36 Plymouth on ebay.

On a 1939 they look like a large upside down "J" that bolt on to the frame and follow the round curvature of the front fender. The 1937 model year should be similar.

Perhaps you could form some from the flat stock stuff you get at the hardware store.

[Rodney Bullock]

Wow, thanks Robert that's a two piece deal. I wonder who or why they removed them? I wonder if anyone has made some from a theaded rod.

Those look exactly like the ones on my '38 Chrylser. Hard to get a picture as the car is all together. That is what you need to find, Rodney.

Oh well, looks like I will need to go to the snake yard...I mean junk yard:eek: I will need something to scare them while I get under the car....like a 12 gauge, oh the pain ..the pain

Rodney,

Do you have salvage yards in your area that still have '30s and '40s parts cars?

i usually make that kind of stuff from 1/2in-5/8in.tubing...then i hammer the ends flat for drilling and bolting. very rigid and strong. flat stock needs much added bracing. tubing bender in a vice works.

[Rodney Bullock]

John, we still have junk yards around here, the best one is in culpeper VA. I like the junk yards around September and Febuary. I have a bunch of guy's ready to go however I am scared to death:eek:

Claybill, I have a guy who said he can make the braces out of tubing or theaded rods like what Greg mentioned. He needs to make a template and get measurements. I might do that as time is of the essence. Don't you love old cars always someyhing.
