Thread: Build Info needed

Tweet

As some of you know, I've built a new garage/workshop...it's the one with the drip edge issue and I thank all of you that provided some very important information which will save me from big problems in the future.
Now that I'll have this new space (with a lift) I'm looking for something to build. I have a Ford 460 engine but don't necessarily have to use it for the new project. Does anyone know of a comprehensive video or book that details building a street rod?

There is a magazine on the stands called "Street Rod Builder" that I have found really informational. Check the internet, there are companies that offer glass and steel projects at pretty affordable prices, they usually come with build books. Have fun picking your next project!

What are you into? 30's? 40's? 50's? 60's? 70's? 80's?

I like 60's and 70's musclecars although I also like 30's and 40's like Willys and the such!

What do you want to build? Racecar? Cruiser? Pro-Street? Pro-tour?

If you want to do a 50's/60's/70's era car that handles like a modern sports car you may want to try these sites out:
