I had a '30 5 widow Ford coupe that was completely original but I sold it 6 years ago when I bought a red car from Italy with a name that ends in "I". The Ford wasn't rusty but it needed a complete resto and I just couldn't get motivated. I have sinned, I know. Tom B
Welcome to the asylum. I like red cars but could never afford one. You just need an appreciation of "traditional hot rods" to be here and enjoy all that goes on ........ you will have to wade through some opinions of what traditional is .... and that will depend on the era that you pick. I've been stripping gears since 1962, haven't seen it all but have seen quite a bit of it.
Welcome from Indy. Hang around here long enough and the red car will have wide whites and lake pipes.
