I've been looking at the T-bucket kit ads forever... I remember the early ads... "Just $10.00 down and $10.00 a month !" hahaha

I'll be scrounging/ scrapping and fabricating as much as I can... I am lucky, tho ot have a decent network of horse-traders in my area. Between the farmers I know and the local scrap yards I should be able to source quite a bit of my needs. Figure my big expense items will be the body (the local rat rod craze has put a layer of gold on top of the rust on the value of old bodies around here), then brakes/suspension system, then tires...

I did chance upon Jim Robinson's thread... great read !!! Thanks , tho, for the heads up.
