    Well I really like the closed top style but the fiberglass bodies seem to be almost double or triple what the entire t bucket kit costs. I realize I'm going to have to spend some cash but this will also be my first build (or attempt at one)...
    Your suggestion on finding an unfinished project though might be what I want. I've been looking around and there seem to be a good amount of them out there, especially for the body style I like.

    I moved here from Denver and was kind of blown away by that. Their welding class through BSU runs almost $1000 and is very hit or miss because they sometimes don't have enough people to fill the class.
    One of my thoughts was that I might find a local builder around here that would be willing to train "lessons" for shop help (cleanup, random stuff, etc).

    Thanks for the welcomes/tips...

    Not a bad way to learn at all!!!! That's how a lot of us got started in this Hot Rodding stuff!!! Another good way is to find a local car club and make friends with people who share the same interests. Most hot rodders I've met are more then willing to share the skills that have been taught to them, it's how our hobby keeps progressing!!!!!

    Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
