    Greetings. My name is Benjamin. I've been around here for a little bit. I've always loved cars. I've had several late 60's early 70's but just last year moved into the older realm. I have a 1953 DeSoto Firedome that I've been working on. Hope to have it be my DD next spring. Thanks for all the help on here already.(and no, the Hemi was already gone)

    Thanks everyone. Like I said before the Hemi was already gone. Also the grill was gone. I'm sure no surprise to anyone here. So I wasn't sure what I was going to do but wasn't worried about it since that was a minor detail.

    One of the guys in the club I'm apart of was over at another members house. He said, "Hey you don't know someone that needs a DeSoto grill... for a 53?'

    Well needless to day I was able to get ahold of the grill for a steal!

    They were just set into place for the pics. Since these pics were taken, I've cleaned them up some and got all the surface rust off of them.
