Hi, Just joined this forum to try to learn a bit about metal shaping. Tired of paying people then having to redo it myself.
My current project is a 34 Chrysler powered by a 6.1 Hemi from a 300C. It was a sedan but is stretched 40 inches, chopped 2.1/2, a gangster style Limo. In 34 Chrysler made the Airflow but also two series sedans, CA at 117 inch wheelbase and the longer one, the CB series at 121 inch wheelbase. This body was unusual as it came without a rear 1/4 window. Mine is now 161 inches. I had two of these cars, body numbers 1755 and 1756 both sold new in Bendigo Vic. Not sure who would have bought them new as they were about 3 times the price of a Ford or Chev. Now they are combined into one. The theme is to make it look long and low but mostly factory from the outside , even down to the Chrysler wires and hub caps. My website has lots of info.
