I am starting this blog at the beginning of a journey to build a 1932 Ford Roadster. The car will be known as Sunday Red and I have included the starting year in my log title so that I remind myself that time is passing and I don't want this project to drag on forever.

I have set goals/ideas for myself and this build:
  • While I want something that I will feel comfortable driving and will have some "pep", I am not really into performance. I live in Las Vegas so my main goal is just to have something fun to cruise The Strip. So, I'm going after "a lover, not a fighter"
  • I will finance the entire build myself and not pay any interest along the way. So many cards now offer 0% financing that I will buy everything in that manner. Between my Summit, Amazon and Home Depot cards, I should be able to do this for the entire project. If anything should happen to me, I have the back up funds to pay off anything I buy.
  • I don't want this to drag on forever. I work from home and live alone. So with some diligent work each evening I hope that I can make significant, consistent progress on this project
So, I have already bought some of the first items that I am going to need. I am deciding to kick this off with an engine rebuild project. I wanted to get a crate engine but most of those guys are backed up like crazy right now and I wouldn't be able to get one for multiple months. Instead, I have bought a junkyard 302 from a 1994 Mustang GT and it should arrive here next week. I also have some tools on order that I'm going to need. I have a decent set right now, but needed to add a few more pieces and I might need to organize my tools a bit more. So I'll be preparing all of that, ready to receive the engine and then really get underway when it arrives.

The shipper sent me some pictures of the engine. I would be happy to post them if only I knew how. Anyone know how pictures can be added to the posts? Do I need an image hosting service. Any free ones out there?
