Thread: Hot Rod on a Budget?

Tweet

Thanks alot for the motivation! Now I'm even more inspired to get my project rolling (pun?). I'm definately going to go to a bunch of swap meets this summer to see what's around - I haven't been to one since I was a little kid, used to go to them with my father. Until then I'm also going to read as much as I can find on building hot rods, and the history and evolution of them as well, that'll hopefully give me a better idea of what I want, and I'll know what the hell I'm doing when it comes down to looking for parts. I have half a dozen service manuals from the 1910s-1920s that I've been reading alot over the past year or so, I figure I'd better know how the original cars were put together before I start to build a modified one, so that's also been extremely helpful. Now I'll also try to find some books on specifically hot rod building to help me with that aspect.

Again, thanks alot for the kind words, this will be a fun project.
