Major Dilemma

[OregonDodgeboy]

Just today I had yet another monkey wrench thrown into getting my W200 back on the road.

You see, I also have a 1925 Dodge Roadster. Well,.... I have the body for one that is, including the grille shell, grill and original radiator (that I can have duplicated! )

So without a chassis, the roadster has been a storage item for many years. Quite by accident I discovered years ago that a Ford Courier LWB has the perfect frame shape to fit it. I have to go to a 4 bar rear with coils, since I have to hack the last 2 - 3 feet off of the frame, but it otherwise follows it perfectly. Looks like a "Turtle deck T", if ya know what one of those is.

Anyway, I am on the verge of being given a very useable Courier. Might arrive tomorrow! We shall see. See my plight? I need the W200 from time to time, since my Scout 2 isn't set-up to be much of a hauler. But the Roadster would be cool, especially with summer coming. (And up here I think it's gonna be a long and hot one this year, judging by the winter we had)

Any ideas? (And no, it's not for sale. I've got to finish it and enjoy it for myself and drive it for a while first.)

whats the one you will use the most & what one will work the best , start there & then fix the 200 then the roadster

[wideblock]

getting the old one done by summer is a huge long shot, plus you migth need the d200 to haul parts for the old dodge. go for the swept first, and take your time on the old truck

Fix the truck first. Put the 25 body in the bed so you can tinker with it at lunch.
