    Well I am one of the new generations of hot rod guys trying to learn as much as I can from those more experienced. Current old american cars that I own are
    1950 Dodge truck-race truck
    1963 Plymouth valiant-stock

    I have been playing with cars for about 3 years now(my single mother upbringing didn't really support the car enthusiasm) But have done a fair bit of work in those 3 years.

    The dodge has been the guinea pig, currently runs drives and stops. Has a jaguar front suspension in it, and soon to get IRS as well. Sticking with the flathead motor though. The motor in it is out of a Clark airport tug, and building a motor for it now that is at the machine shop, hoping to have around 160hp or so (bored .060 over, decked the head, custom camshaft, will be making custom intake and exhaust)

    The valiant is something I picked up to flip, just haven't had time. Going to clean it up, make it reliable, and give it a paint job. It is low mileage runs drives and stops well.

    I had listed all of my cars, which were too new and too un-american. Though one of them is parts for the dodge.
