My oldest brother and a couple other guys keep trying to convince me that I should buy a fiberglass body and put it on a S10 chassis or just buy a t-bucket kit. I found some detailed build journals on some other sites, and that's what got me interested in the first place.
I don't think I have any special "cajones",I think if I had a specific design for anything, I'd probly screw it up and get discouraged, and give up. I don't really have money for kits and special parts and stuff like that. For instance,
a radiator for a 32 ford is like $450, but if you get a "generic" radiator with the same basic dimensions but just doesnt have the "32 ford" name stuck with it, you can get it for $200. I just use what I can find, and use ideas that I find around on the internet and figure out how to make them work.
If I dont like something, I can always change it, because I don't have any special design I have to follow. Some people might think it's more of a "ratty old rod" when it's done, but who cares?
I dont care if I win any prizes or anything with it.
