What's going on everyone? I recently picked this coupe up off a Craigslist seller this past weekend. It's a 1951 Dodge Coronet Diplomat. Everything was stock (engine, transmission, 6volt). Had the usual rust on the trunk lid, the driprails, rocker panels. Nothing a little welding cant fix in my opinion. My plans for now are to have it running by New years at least. It's missing the radiator, generator, battery. To be honest I do not know nothing about this car except that I want to fix it, drive it, and find my future wife with it (some sarcasm there). I built a 86 Monte Carlo last year with alot of help from my dad and some guys in the neighborhood. This 1 will be different since I bought and moved to a new home. I seem to be the only 1 with an old car in the driveway.
Anyways, I guess what I am asking is can someone lead me into the right direction? Maybe some books to read to learn about these original flathead 6 engines? I have never been a mechanic more of a bodywork/paint guy but I am willing to learn and get dirty to have this car on the road again. Thanks
