Don't get up, it's just me.
Just dropped in from Michigan. I'm not new to forums, I've been a member of the HAMB for many years. I also frequent the VTXcafe occasionally.
Today I drove home (with the help of the emergency brake) a '52 Dodge Coronet 4 dr.
Besides needing some brake work I need a trunk latch.
The headlights work but not the brake or tailights. Ya know, the little details they all need.
This will NOT be a restoration (sorry to disappoint some of you). I'm in to hot rods and customs so this one will get a little lowering job and a few minor custom mods.
I plan on leaving the drivetrain alone except I'd like to find a 2 carb manifold and a split exhaust manifold.
Any ideas as to what cool late 50s/ early 60s steering wheel will fit?
Anyway, I'm always open to suggestions so if you have any ideas, fire away.
