New member from NE Michigan
Hello Mike from northeast Michigan here. Started out on a new adventure this winter. I purchased a 1937 Plymouth 5 Window Coupe to build a Hot Rod. This is my first time building a Hot Rod. I have built other vehicles in the past 1966 Mustang Coupe and Jeep CJ7. Since this is my first Hot Rod I am sure I will be looking for lots of advice and guidance from all the Experts I can find.
I have been doing a lot of research to come up with a good plan (in my mind anyways). I know I have my work cut out for me but who doesn't love a new adventure. I hope I am on the right track but only time will tell. I will probably start a build thread in Hot Rod Build Log section. I have also attached a pic of the day I brought my project home. Thanks in advance for any and all help.Last edited by mprevo; 03-11-2016 at 11:01 AM.

Welcome Mike and the Plymouth is cool! I am near Flint and spent a lot of growing up time in Tawas and Alpena!
What is the plan for the coupe?

Thanks for all of the welcomes. I have started a build tread in the Hot Rod Build Section.It is easy to make a small fortune in Hot Rods. Just start with a large one.......
