Builder Shoplite- 1939 Dodge Coupe

 

Builder Shoplite 

 Churchland, N.C.-
Buster Laws of Churchland  North Carolina is riding in his1939 Dodge 5 Window coupe. Buster did all the work himself.

Buster replaced the rocker panels along with part of the floor board and has also fabricated and installed some very nice door skins on the 'ole Dodge'. Current metalworking/fabrication work that was done is the installation of a recessed firewall for the GM HEI distributor clearance. Buster also grafted in a 1981 Camaro front subframe to go along with the modern 8.5 GM 10 bolt rearend all this is connected through a GM 350 turbo transmission.

Buster said "the ole Dodge is just going to be a driver",but by what we have seen it is going to be one fine ride. The workmanship on the car is outstanding. We cant wait to see the 'ole Dodge' on the street and Cruzin Round Spencer!

Cruzin Round Spencer.com will follow up with Buster in the months to come and get updates on his fine work and one nice streetrod!
