I found this great video that I thought others Dodge Brother enthusiasts might appreciate.

Thanks Dale. This is a similar video that the DBC club has. About minute 20ish when they are driving the completed cars up the ramp notice the chassis that drives by on the left return road. I wonder why it doesn't have a body? Also the car that stops at the bottom of the hill, the man gets out of the right side and checks under the hood. It doesn't appear to have anyone in the left seat, is it right hand drive? The club's video has a few other scenes, such as testing the rear axles by twisting them until they break. And a scene of them splitting a bar of steel in a forge, making it round to become a ring gear. That goes against every machineing principal I know. I like how they paint with garden hoses, explains runs on original paint cars.

Hello Doug, is the video the club has, that you refer to, available for viewing. I would be quite interested in viewing it.

It's for sale in the club store, contact Tom and Cindy. It's a dvd, think it's $25. It has a lot of the same video, but more. For example, when talking about the seats it tells how many tons of horse hair per day used. It has a rollover test too that is pretty cool, think it's a DA sedan.
