    Looking at possibly building an old hot-rod. Currently don't have anything. Many years ago I was into Mustangs and had a couple '67 models. One thing I learned was that although I new some stuff about them, I wish in hindsight I had done more learning before buying.

    So, my plan is to learn as much as possible about buying and building an old hot rod, and then see if I want to do it.

    Right now I'm mostly interested in the early 1930's Ford trucks.

    Welcome to hot rod heaven!Find a nice Model A ( 30-31's are my favorite) pickup and go to town!Lots of things you can do- hop up the banger; put in a flattie;or even a nice 302 FORD motor( stay away from those small block chevy motors you'll give the neighborhood a bad reputation)(just joking- put in whatever you can get yer greasy hands on)Good luck and remember to HAVE FUN.

    One question, what is the general attitude towards kit cars? I'm unlikely to go that route, but I've considered it.
