Ha, ha yeah - good try! Sadly, I have neither pin up photos or a cool bike and I have just sold my '27 T roadster so I guess you will just have to admire Emma-Jane ;)

[^T^Ray]

Kia ora Emma-Jane!
Were do you live in Aotearoa?
I use to live there a few years back, mostly around Auckland. Spent a few months down in Rotorua and Hamilton as well. New Zealand is an amazing place!
Is there a lot of cars clubs in New Zealand? I don't remember seeing too many Hot Rods or kustoms driving around. Looks like you got a great ride.

emma

[hotrod girl]

hi there. please pass on our email address (rickiwood@xtra.co.nz) to your daughter and tell her to get in touch with us if she has time. we can take her around to the hotrod club and show her the car which is back in rebuild stage. so its all stripped back to bare metal and getting the panel work done and more custom touches. the desoto hasnt hit the road yet as the pic you see here was a mad rush to put it together for a local show over here called the hotrod blowout. so, not even running yet, just a roller. should be finished by january if not earlier.

hope we get to meet your daughter.

[hotrod girl]

thanks for the encoutaging words. have a closer look and you will notice that the desoto is still infact a 4 door. its just been worked to look like a 2 door, so i guess it has had the desired effect. its still not finished yet so keep an eye out for more pics as we go. will post some more soon.

thanks

emma

Hi there Fast Elvis,

Welcome from the great white north (Canada :)).....great looking ride Emma. Love to see some of your pin up shots!! :)

Cheers, Mark

[oldcarmike]

Welcome to the HAMB. I really like the Desoto but you got the steering wheel on the wrong side. That's right, I said it...

Watch out for these guys. Never in my life have I met a more lecherous bunch. I'm so proud of all of them.

Nice photos. And I dig the club name. I happen to have a business up near Chicago with the same name. Welcome to the HAMB.

[drhotrodmd]

Welcome to the Hamb Emma-Jane! Those pics are very nice. :)

[louie the fly]

Welcome Emma. I'm pretty new on here to. I found you can learn some really cool stuff on here by browsing the older threads. I'd like to see some close up shots of the DeSoto, can you send me some? I'm doing a 54 Dodge sedan, basic stuff at the mo, & then top chop later. Enjoy!

[hotrod girl]

gday louie. heres a link to a website in new zealand which has some early build up pics. as im still on the process of building there will be more posted on here eventually. we started off with a basket case of a car so there is a lot of work being done. all door skins. rebuilt 2 door frames too. both front pillars. rear body mounts. and plenty more.
http://www.nz-hotrod.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=17

anyways, click the link. theres 4 pages of stuff there so flick on through. if you get time, send us some pics of your dodge to rickiwood@xtra.co.nz it always good to see what people are doing with something a little different.

cheers

Hey Louie,

Just for a little inspiration just incase you want to customise the Dodge, These are the changes i made on my 54 desoto

Headlights 55 chevrolet
Tailights, 60 plymouth turned upside down
Custom Skirts, 54 customline bonnet cut up
Grill, exsisting 55 dodge but im not happy with it so it will be a hand fabricated piece now
Back Window, 51 Spinner
Engine, Baby hemi 265 valiant motor split headers

Cant wait to see a pic of you car

Emma-jane

[louie the fly]
