Looking at possibly building an old hot-rod. Currently don't have anything. Many years ago I was into Mustangs and had a couple '67 models. One thing I learned was that although I new some stuff about them, I wish in hindsight I had done more learning before buying. So, my plan is to learn as much as possible about buying and building an old hot rod, and then see if I want to do it. Right now I'm mostly interested in the early 1930's Ford trucks.
Welcome to hot rod heaven!Find a nice Model A ( 30-31's are my favorite) pickup and go to town!Lots of things you can do- hop up the banger; put in a flattie;or even a nice 302 FORD motor( stay away from those small block chevy motors you'll give the neighborhood a bad reputation)(just joking- put in whatever you can get yer greasy hands on)Good luck and remember to HAVE FUN.

One question, what is the general at***ude towards kit cars? I'm unlikely to go that route, but I've considered it.
I recently found this great site thru my brother..( He just bought a 29 Ford )..Ive had the street rod bug for years ..Need to start to build one before I get too old too !!
