Another newbie
Greetings Club Hot Rod - another newbie here - looking for advice from the pros. I've been a car nut all my life but have been surprisingly passive when it comes to wrenching on stuff, mainly cause money was always tight and I lived in apartments with no place to work on 'em.
I'm actually in the business doing PR work for lots of car related companies.
So now that I bought a house with a good size garage that hasn't filled up with junk yet - and I have at least a little spare change -- its time for a project and I think a rat rod is just my style.
Problem is I have no idea where to begin. I'd like to get something that runs but still has lots of room for tinkering and personalization. I dont know how to weld (guess I should learn, eh?) and I have no access to lifts, presses or other heavy equipment. Not yet anyway.
ANy advice is appreciated: Contacts, clubs, events, whatever.
Thanks and I look forward to learning lots.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
