My other project, it going to be a busy winter!
Along with doing a few things to my c4 like putting a new ZF this winter this is my main project. I am a old school rodder at heart.
Its a 1940 Dodge truck, I designed and built the frame and am using C4 suspension front and rear. I am build this truck to autocross with SCCA and Goodguys and hope to track it some. I have a 318 and 3 speed auto for it. I just got started on it about 4 months ago.

Cool, can't wait to see the finished product. Interesting that it will have the C4 parts. Any idea what the 318 is out of? I found an old Dodge van that has a 383/3 speed in it, so now I just need to find the right Mopar for it. There is a 60 Dart I'm probably going to get, but I don't know if I want to swap it in that.

Glad you decided to use steel, I don't think the wood frame would have lasted very long.... 
Looks like it's going to be pretty 
when you get it done. 
BTW - Is the frame drawing done in Solidworks or Inventor?

Very cool! Hope to see some video of that bad boy tearing up some tarmac next year. That would just be a blast at an autocross!!!!!!
