    Hey guys, I'm brand new to all this. I been dreaming of owning a cl***ic car my whole life. Spent hours looking at pics of old trucks and rat rods on line and going to car shows. Always been scared to buy anything cause I don't have any family or friends that are into cars. Long story short at 32 years old I finally nutted up and bought a 1949 plymouth deluxe 2 door fast back. It has the original motor and the ***le says 94,000 miles on it. I will have a lot of I'm sure dumb questions, but not before searching through threads first lol.....I spent a few hours working on it and thanks to looking through the threads I got it running and drove my first car made before 1990!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't have big plans for the car right now running, stopping, low and black.............Got the first 2 out of the way now to lower it. Any advice on how to cheap would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for your time and the threads it has been a ton of help already.....................
