1949 mercury

My Dad loves old cars & he always took me to car shows when i was little. We still go to them when we can. He had a 1947 Chrysler 4 door, he gave that to me when i was 15, It had a blown motor & i had no money to fix it. I got rid of it a few years later when i moved out. Now he gave me a 1949 Mercury coupe in 2005. Its all torn apart no front clip on it & a lot of box's full of parts. He had some shop going to restore it & they got into it then told him he should be doing this him self. So he gave it to me, now i want to get it going. I have built a shop to work on it. The car is all original, I took the body off the frame & now i need to start fixing the frame & doing the build. Never built a car before so this is going to be a long project.
