Thread: Hot Rod on a Budget?

Tweet

I'm pretty capable, I've had alot of experience working as a mechanic and building a couple of camaros on my own over the past few years (also have an automotive tech degree, not that that means much lol). Dont get me wrong, I know I can always learn more, just saying I have the mechanical ability to build another car - I just don't have the experience with cars from that era, so that's what I'm attempting to learn about before I start this particular project. What I don't know, I'll take the time to learn whatever it is I need, then do it myself, it's the way I've learned most of what I know...it takes alot longer, but I can't stand paying someone to do something I can learn to do myself. HRP, that is alot of good advice, regardless of my ability - finding an almost complete car would definately be easier than piecing a car together, especially since I don't have the experience with 20's or 30's cars yet. At least if it's together to start, I'll be able to tear it down and know exactly how it went together, rather than trying to put together a car from parts that I'm not familiar with... though I'm sure that would increase the budget substantially...

Hope I don't come across as arrogant or anything, I'm just a little stubborn and determined

Thanks again for all the encouragement, I really appreciate it.

PS - HRP, are you a member on ClubChopper too? I think I recognize your username

PPS - Uptown, that's a sweet car! That's definately inspiring to me to see someone else my age building hotrods.
