Newbie here
New to the forum.
I currently have a 1990 Thunderbird Super Coupe 35th Anniversary edition. It is a nice car and fun to drive, but performance and rebuild parts are few and expensive so I have decided not to sink a bunch of money into this car.
I am now in the very early stages of planning to build a hot rod. probably a '29-'32 fenderless roadster... or maybe a coupe.
I am not sure if I want to go with a kit, or get a roller chassis and build up from there.
I am intrigued by the Shell Valley "A Roadster" kit, since it seems to be fairly complete for a relatively low price. I also like the Street Beasts kits, though they are pretty expensive.
I AM sure that I want to use a SB Ford engine (always been a Ford guy) with T5 or Tremec. I may begin my project by searching out a 5.0 from an Explorer (the one with the GT40 heads).
Maybe by the time I have the engine built and ready, I will know which route to take otherwise.Last edited by truedog; 04-01-2005 at 11:42 AM.

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.
