New here with 23 Dodge Steel.

[Wicked50Coupe]

Just picked this car up a few weeks ago. Started fabricating frame last weekend. No frame jigs or much room to work here in the real world. Hope to make this a neat little ride soon.

Good call, fixed. I do plan on making good progress soon. I've had the car only two weeks so far. I put the 50 Coupe aside for a while.

I'd like to get the roadster done first now - loads of fun. Got a lot of cleaning to do.

I came from the Harley world cross over. I told my 12 year old we were going to build his 18th. B-Day present kinda as a joke. Maybe some truth to that after all. My dad built tractors with me when I was a kid and I've never forgot those times. We're about 3,000 acres short of needing a tractor so I thought a bucket would work.

Re: New here with 23 Willy's Steel.

Oops, just found out that my car is more than likely a 23 Willys model 91 touring. Guess it isn't Dodge after all.

After much research and chasing leads, I found the original owner. He told me he has a picture of the car new. After a day of digging through albums, he finally produced the picture. He is so nice, and told stories of how well he took care of his baby.

dodges had more steel in the bodies and a lot of them had lift out doors so they are hard to find. My son is working on a 22 dodge bucket and I built new door panels at the college shop a couple of years ago.

My that looks like a fun restoration.
