new guy from east texas with a basket case

I thought I better make the intro post and get it behind me. I bought a '46 chevy coupe, a barn find, and still haven't figured out why it was ever parked. No history on the car but has 1981 lic. plate. I have it up on jack-stands and the engine runs good, shifts through the gears and no unusual noises. It has zero paint on the body but only surface rust. Floors are great with no pin holes. My plans are to make a driver out of it, just a fix up-mild custom, no resto or motor swap. This will be my 4th old car to fix up and I'm looking forward to learning all about this old girl. I'm sure there will be lots of questions.........Al
