Newbie Here!

Hey, I'm Phil. I'm new to this forum, I just wanted to give a brief history of who I am and what kind of car I have. Lets start off with how old I am, 53. I have a wife and three kids. My oldest son is a auto body and auto collision repair teacher, next is the daughter who is a pharmacist, and my youngest son is a junior in high school. I have a 1952 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 that I acquired four years ago. Basically my sons and I did a restore to it. That was a lot more work than I thought it would be! It's still a work in progress, probably never will be done but I'll keep on going at it.

Welcome to C.O. Phil. 1952 huh? My wife would love for me to have that car so I could give it to her.... Really cool that you have family with auto talent and frustration relief if you need it!

How much of the car has been done and how much left to go?
