I did my t think DeSoto had a Hemi till 1952? It sure is sweet original or not. I'm a huge first generation Hemi s as well as traditional Hot Rods and customs. That would fit right in on the H.A.M.B. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/

Damn we do not see enough kustoms on this sub. Love it.

Hell yeah, glad to see you kept the hemi. I'm sick of seeing a sbc stuck in everything.

Thank you!!! You’d think every restored car earlier than 1960 came with an SBC.

I think everything newer than that is legally required to have an LS swap

Good on ya for keeping the stock Hemi.

Busterlimes@reddit

It came that dressed up?

[-]

oldjadedhippie@reddit

Nah , it has some aftermarket parts and bling ,but it’s the original Hemi engine. All the early 50’s DDCP V-8’s were Hemis.

Busterlimes@reddit

My point is the dresser kit. Also, I doubt the internals are original and that carb is probably way jetted up

Besides the alternator none of the aftermarket parts were chrome. I sent everything out for chrome.

Yea I should have used the term “ original “ , but the sun was still up , and I thought all the trolls were still under their respective bridges.

Yeah, the original engine sets this car apart.

Really nice looking desota and finally someone besides me that isn’t into to crazy of sticking a SBC in every project car. Love the duel quad and cloth covered wires. Great attention to detail from what I can see. Can’t wait to see it finished but I’ll bet OP feels the same way.
