Hi guys and gals,

I'm Dave and i'm building a 1956 desoto diplomat 4 door sedan, it will be fully customised, 2 doored and chopped.

Here's a photo of it, the floor and sills are pretty well shot. My metal working and welding skills are minimal but thats half the reason for building this car and why i'm here.

Cheers
Dave

Thanks for for having me here and the welcome, oh yeah by the way i'm not really a doctor its just that my initials are DR and its a nickname i was given.

I am hoping to build as close to a traditional custom as i can afford and already have the body modifications in my head, now to get it into metal.

Cheers
Dave

Hello Dave and welcome to the site. Looks like you have a fair bit of work ahead of you. People on here are more than happy to give advice where possible so ask away.

Hello David,

Thanks for that, your right there is a lot of work in this car but i'm planning to repair the rust and damage before i get into the modifications so there's a solid base to work on.

Cheers
Dave
