My old man has had me in the garage and swaps since I was in huggies. I guess that's how I got the rust in my blood. I cut my teeth on Chevelles and ElCaminos but I got tired of people telling me what bolts were wrong and what shade of flat black to use on the hood hinges. I like my cars low, loud and leaking at least two colors of fluid. I have a 26 tub that's flat green, zd hard and still has seating for 4. I built it in 38 days and just about lost my new wife in the process. It still needs stuff to make it reliable but thats what the winter is for. I love shoe box Fords that have their lids drop and collecting cheap parts even if they don't fit anything. Rather build it than buy it as would a lot of you guys, thats why I like it here. thanks tom
Welcome! I know what you mean about people judging every detail of a car, I guess it has its place, I got tired of it too. Like your ride, I have a 25 T that I going to give a go at building next year.
