Just an "Old Fart" Starting Over

[CurtRod58]

Hi Gang,
I'm a 50 yr old longtime motorhead getting back into hot rodding with my 13 year old son. We have a '52 Desoto Firedome mordoor with a SB Mopar and TF tranny. Should be roadworthy in time for some spring/summer fun here in NorCal.

Welcome to RRR! And I 'll be the first to tell you we'd all like to see some pictures of your project. Great to hear your getting your young one involved, makes it that much more fun.

 

[CurtRod58]

Here you go. It's my understanding that the car was a "dragger" from SoCal area and was known as the "gold tooth" car in the late '90's/early '00's. I'm not going that route. It will be low but a little more drivable. Perhaps bag it sometime in the future, depends on how long we decide to keep it.

Welcome to RRR, CurtRod58. Family builds are always great. Least you know where the boy will be hanging out. And no need to worry about what he'll see here. This is a nice clean, family friendly site.
