This is the full build video of the 1938 Dodge Brothers "two door sedan."
At the age of 15 I bought this classic Dodge for $320, which was all the money I had at the time. After countless hours of metal fabrication, years of dreaming and design, I finished the build.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Enjoy!

Like how you covered the build, from start to finish, admittingly, I gasped at the chev small block in a Mopar. The car looks amazing, and your attention to details, tells me I have to step up my game. In 1980, I was 13, my dad gave me a 57 D-100. His old shop truck parked in a cow pasture, since the late 60's. For reference, it was an ex Saskatchewan DNR truck, then farm truck, and then his shop truck. His intention was, I had to build it if I wanted to drive, so I'd learn to respect vehicles, blood, sweat and tears. That thing was rough, completely tore it down, stripped off all the paint, bought a "69 Fury for drive train. That's where we went over board, graphited front subframe, for IFS, rewelded spring pads to mount 8 3/4 diff. Cut out 3/4 of the fire wall, didn't expect the engine set back with the front clip. Even though my father is gone, I still own, the '57. I learned so much from him, over the years, currently blowing the truck apart again, just to refresh all the years I abused it. I guess call it a tribute build.

@@theonomicsbuilds6133 I appreciate you took the time to reply to my long winded story. I kept editing, and deleting, the story line trying to compress 4 yrs work. This time around, I just want to tidy things up, and now, even though I have a MIG, I'm not willing to cut out any welds my dad brazed together. It's a badge of honor, most wouldn't understand. Your ride is built to be driven, love it, not a trailer queen.

Awesome! To chop off the lower rust was brilliant and really turned lemons into the best hightest quality lemonaid you can get, and the exhaust through the fat fenders and modding the door was again brilliant. I think the wheels are good. Thanks for the inspiration, so many of my projects never get this far.

That is one very nice ride brother. I like the small details you add into the build and that is what people see when they look at it because if two friends are looking at it during the same time, they will both see thibgs the other will m8ss then when they talk about it, they have to go back and see it again. That's the tell that tells you that you designed a masterpiece called Art. Very nice, and the sound of the headers are perfect on it. I noticed earlier the doors went up like a wing then you changed them to normal doors. I like how it ended up. Great job. I just found your channel this morning and I subscribed and hit thumbs up on all your videos I watched, so far and I shared them. That way you get more followers. Helping a brother out my friend.

European here (Austria) and it definitely has a prewar French vibe to it, it could have easily come from any of the old coach builders like Figoni & Falaschi. Changing the wheels when funds allow is a no-brainer. I'd have gone for a Mopar engine but get it when one has to stick to a budget and the SBC you already had, so...

It is an unusual design, but it works. That thing has a wicked look that really clicks. The color works on this body and looks GOOD... Being from Southern Oklahoma, I tend to stay away from dark colors. I would have liked to see this body in metallic pewter with metallic charcoal fenders, subdued, sedate and menacing at the same time. Great job...it should bring in a lot of business. The headlights and exhaust design are just over the top. Fantastic car...you done good...
