Team Quiet

Born and raised in Metro Detroit (now in Denver, Co), i never really was a car guy, i certainly appreciate the industry and found myself going to the Woodward dream cruise every year....i even passed up a 70 GTO for my first car and instead bought a wrangler... crazy right? Well back then they were a dime a dozen...anyways i became a motorcycle guy and have built a few bikes over the years...until one of my good friends was killed on his bike one block from my house this summer...then finding out the next week that i was going to be a father! Needless to say i traded my bike for a 54 210 2 door deluxe (very much a project car)in hopes of building a car the whole family can enjoy, safely!
So please bear with me as i am another newbie with a whole lot of "dumb" car questions...
