Welcome
Welcome Robert,
You have a nice car to start this project with. I am one of those tight wads you referred to but I don't consider my car a rat rod, although some high end builders might. When I started my build 44 years ago (see pic of "finished" project below) I did it myself because of lack of $$$. When I "finished" the build I had aprox. $1200 in it total. I am re-doing it now (see my post "34 3 window re-build" in the Hot Rod Talk section of this forum) with a little more knowledge and much better equipment but I am still doing it myself. Mostly to save $$ but also because I am a die hard DIYSer and like to tell people I did it myself.
406RICH is right about buying what you can and when safety is involved, don't take shortcuts. You can still assemble the finished project and say you did it yourself.
Jack.
