Welcome to CHR Eric. I suppose someone should suggest that you finish one project before you start another one, but heck, you might as well be like most of us and have 3 or 4 projects going at the same time so that you never have enough time or money to finish any of them !!!!! T Buckets are kewl, and make a great first hot rod project. Seems to be a lot of vintage tin down in Texas, finding a project should not be all that difficult. I've noticed a lot of project qualified tin on Ebay in the "collectors cars, parts cars" section.... Might want to take a look there. Enjoy your time here at CHR.
