Thread: New guy looking for tips...

Welcome to CHR. If the pic is your ideal car, don't bother looking at Total Performance.... Their cars are attractive and well designed...you've pictured just another typical rat rod.....

As for the lack of welding and fabrication skills, might want to consider a little bit of night school at a community college or Vo-Tech. Even basic welding and fabrication skills will save you a ton of $$$$$ on any build....

Only local Boise resident that I know is Brant Jackson. Brant is a wiring specialist and has his own business. He does streetrods and other cars.
Being from Boise, I would think you should be looking for an enclosed car to build, or at least one with a ragtop. In either case Total Performance may not be your best way to go. Perhaps you should look for project cars that people have abandoned and want to sell. Can usually find some with lots of good parts and/or partially complete.

Of course if the style you showed in your picture is the style you wish to pursue, than by all means do it. First and foremost you got to be happy.

BTW, welcome to CHR. Many of the questions you will have regarding your build can be answered here.
Good luck.
