    Hello i am new around here, i should introduce myself.
    I am Warner from the Netherlands, work as mechanic in rebuilding engines, and are a big custom car fan.
    In the past i had a few Mopars, 68 newport, a 67 Dode d100 pickup, 68 Valiant and last year i sold my 1960 Fury, real cool finned car.
    My intention is was to search for a begin 50 end 40ties Coupe/mopar , end the search ended by a 1950 Desoto Club coupe, with flat 6 and fluiddrive.
    Dont see many of this car in the Netherlands, more guys around here driving this 1950 Desoto's?
    My plans with the car is first to do al the technical issues, than lowered it, and maybe in the future do a v8 swap, i got a poly 318 with a push****on torqueflite maybe it fits in the engine bay, otherwise a 360 la engine shal fit i think.
    I also i am busy right now with a Dodge a100 Sportsman van from 1965 i bought it this year in La when i was on Holiday there, i shipped it to the Netherlands.

    I keep you posted with the project and hope i get plenty of information from this forum.
