Hot Rod Cars: Rat rod 1926 Dodge Brothers Sedan 1926 Pictures Gallery

Rat rod 1926 Dodge Brothers Sedan 1926 Pictures Gallery , - This hot rod, 1926 Dodge body, and great adjustable stance is something we would love to own. The front axle is from a 1929 Ford and uses a suicide spring setup for suspension and 11.75″ disc brakes . Those stoppers should really haul this car down nicely when combined with the big drums on the ends of the Ford 9-inch rear. The engine is a 1954 vintage 331ci Hemi. The trans is a two speed Powerflite that lived on the back of the engine when they were both installed in a New Yorker. The trans is bone stock and the engine is basically stock aside from the addition of a new carb, HEI distributor and headers. From the sounds of the ad, the guys did not pull the motor apart and rebuild it, but they did bring it back to life, flush it a couple times with new oil, and little stuff like pulling the rockers off, cleaning them and making sure the obvious stuff was in working order. The visor? That’s a huge old saw blade from a mill that the original Dodge Brothers logo was laser cut into. Neat touch without being campy or over the top. The interior is neat. Custom made seats are what the driver and passenger sit in. The door panels and floor are made from reclaimed metal ceiling tiles from a 1930s store. The shifter is an Ed Roth monster style piece that the father/son who did the car built. We dig that too, as cartoony as it is.
