My names Howie I'm 40 something and been working on mostly restorations my entire entire life. My dad is a car nut too. I've lurked for a while and need to build a rod ASAP. I have always loved traditional rods and never been too fond of trailer queens. Spent a few years working in bodyshops but my trade is as a sheet metal mechanic and gas fitter
Welcome aboard Howie! If you haven't started a HR project yet, might I suggest something from the Ford menu...great selections there!
Thanks for the welcoming I'm a lifelong Ford guy, so I'll be looking to build a 30's Ford rod I still like other makes but always lean towards Fords. I've always wanted to build a rod, I've got a 429, C-6 and a 9" waiting for something to go in. Right now I've got a 62 t-bird sports roadster, 2010 mustang and an 04 lightning p.u. so you see I like Fords lol My problem is I like too many cars and I'm easily sidetracked but the rod is next on my list
I know the feeling. I too like a mix of new and old. I'm trying to stay below 8 cars. My 1927 modified model T project is by far my favourite
