    Hey Im speaking in generalities here so please don't take it personal in any way. The stuff your building is top cabin Dan and really sweet no matter how old you are! But you have to admit you are fairly unique for your age... I guess in my way of thinking the old tin is getting very expensive which is putting it out of the reach of the really young guys. If they weren't raised with V8's they could probably give a squat? There will always be motorheads and they will be busting their knuckles on something for sure... Just not sure it will always be a early naturally aspirated kind of rod or classic. Of course Brookville is going strong so who knows?

    You already know how calm I am, I don't take much personal... I guess it was just letting everyone know that some of us youngsters that love the hobby still exist. As far as the money is concerned. Those of us that have the drive will become very resourceful and learn how to make what we can't afford. Trust me that is a large part of why I built almost everything on our 32 truck.....well that and I'm an OCD psychopath LMAO.

    Here is another one I did a ton of crap on and this fellow is about 32.
