These are in your neck of the woods and probably in your price range,

You're joking, right? $3K to spend on a finished, running, driving project?

Ok, it would seem things have changed again and I am now the proud owner of a 1954 Desoto Firedome 4.5L 276cid V8 Hemi. Not what I was looking for but happened to fall into my lap, so i went with it. From what I understand this engine is one of the first hemi's. Originally I was looking for something to throw and engine and transmission on but in this case I would like to keep everything as original as I can, Which is already proving difficult. I've already had to have the starter rebuilt and I'm working on redoing all the cars original wiring since its all over 60 years old. I would like to keep it a 6 volt system instead of a 12 v conversion though I would like to hear your thoughts on that. I'm also currently looking for parts such as the spark plug wire covers that say Firedome on them, A driver side door, The hood badge, the oil bath carb filter, spark plug wires (can I use any kind or should I look for something specific) I already bought the reapir manual and I'm hoping it will contain some part numbers to make my search a little easier. here are some pics, let me know what you think
