    Hey, everyone.
    I'm new to street rodding. But, was an auto technician then a dealership service manager for years
    I stumbled upon a '50 Styleline Deluxe while watching early '70's muscle cars. (Originally I wanted an early '70's GM A-Body.) Bt this '50 had been in storage for over 30 years and was being offered at no reserve.
    Long story short, I bought the car and fell in love. I've kept that car all original (60k miles) and bought a 1952 Fleetline to street rod.
    There's a lot of muscle cars out there. But, not many of this era that haven't been chopped or bagged. So, I'd like to build a car that is true to the original design but with modern conveniences.
    I will be looking for a lot of help.
    Thanks

    Thanks everyone.
    I'm looking forward to much help on my '52.
    Timwhit - Thanks. I really like it. It's too nice to street rod and too original to restore. So, since not much to do to it.....got the '52. :)
    Gutting it now. Trying to decide in what suspension to use. CE, TCI, Heidts, etc.
