-CONVENTIONAL PEDAL LAYOUT-CLUTCH ON LEFT, BRAKE IN CENTRE, ACCELERATOR ON RIGHT<br />
<br />
WHICH MAKES DRIVING EASIER AND LESS FRANTIC!<br />
<br />
DODGE model 126 BUSINESS COUPE, 1926<br />
LARGELY FINISHED RESTORATION, or HOT ROD.<br />
Hard work done<br />
<br />
GOOD POINTS<br />
Mechanics, running gear, chassis, body and seat done. Completion easy and can be DIY. <br />
Complete car. (And just about all parts are still available in the USA if something small needs replacing)<br />
<br />
DONE<br />
<br />
Hard work done<br />
no welding needed<br />
chassis cleaned and painted<br />
engine rebuilt<br />
No rust other than minor surface rust in a few places)<br />
wheels (spokes) have new tyres<br />
new petrol tank<br />
brakes and running gear overhauled<br />
interior-seat restored and recovered<br />
no bodywork needed other than paint<br />
<br />
NEEDED<br />
<br />
Paint, woodwork (roof, running boards, door cards), windscreen.<br />
<br />
Paint (Wings are bolted on, easy to unbolt and spray)<br />
Roof- originally wood and fabric construction. Some bits left to use as pattern<br />
Running boards (wood)<br />
Interior-door cards (simple to make as very basic)<br />
Has a plywood floor-be nicer with one more like original wood plank floor.<br />
windscreen cracked. This is simple flat glass so easy to get a piece cut to size...in fact it is a good idea for safety as the original is not safety glass)<br />
Wiring (very basic). So not much left to do. <br />
<br />
These were a step forward in reliability and so sold well to travelling businessmen-samples went in the boot.<br />
They were also a step forward in speed-60 mph! with a 3500cc engine.<br />
<br />
Selling as this is sadly one project too many for SWMBO. <br />
With so much done it won"t take much to complete the restoration, or if you want to go a different route, this is a great basis for a hot rod in 2 door coupe shape.<br />
