The Fire is lit!

Hey guys(and gals): Glad to have been turned on to this board. It looks like there is a wealth of information and I feel like I'm gonna need it, as I've embarked on a roadster project with my wife and daughters. We already got a street machine('66 Nova) but I wanted to find something that my girls coyuld start to learn to weld and wrench on and I found it or at least eight pieces of it) out in our local desert complete with lots of bullet holes! A 1928 Dodge Victory Six sedan. I've already got most of the body parts tacked back together as it was originally a "bolt together" car, but I know I'm gonna have lots of questions and I'm hoping that I'll be welcome to ask them here to you guys as most of you have already been down the road! Hope you all like to share your knowledge with home-builts, 'cause I like to listen. Thanks for havin us here. Dale and the gals.

Welcome! It's gonna be cool to look at pics of a bullet riddled husk and the finished product and say "look what we did!"

No- they are the real deal. And they've been in there for a long time I suspect. We found a slug that looked like it ricocheted inside the passenger footwell area. I suspect that due to the fact that it was out in the desert since the early forties, it was a source of target practice. Or maybe a "moonshine" runner (?) Could be a theme for the whole car buildup?
