Thread: Question RE Manufacturer

Tweet

Thanks to all who have responded so far. Each of us have our own individual reasons for doing things, especially for doing them a certain way. I will not debate what method of "obtaining a street rod" may be the least expensive or the easiest or least time consuming. Those of you that say buy used or unfinished projects are correct for the most part regarding cost, etc. You guys forget that I'm 55 and have lived much of life's experiences. If anyone knows that everything always takes longer and costs more than planned...I do. My point is: I totally agree with Dave Severson, I NEED to build my own for various personal reasons. The only reason I brought up "cost" was in relation to acautos prices compared to other similar manufacturers.
I can appreciate the comments that many of you have made regarding this hobbie...but I am not new to hobbies, most hobbies that are hands on like to suck money and time, but that's to be expected. I'm a newbie to street rods, not hobbies in general. I believe in doing my research, hence my question regarding acautos. I actually have done quite a bit of research over the years and recently regarding street rods in general. I also have my own personal reasons for not going with a Ford body and chassis. All I care to say right now is I'm a GM guy, it's what I know and like. Nothing against Ford, but it's just not me. I realize no one out there knew too much about me from my original question, but I guess I expected a little more credit than I've been given. I attempted to make a couple small comments in my first thread regarding my background, age, etc. I apologize for expecting most of you to understand "where I'm coming from" based on my first short thread. For whatever reason, Dave Severson grasped where I was coming from right away. Please, no hard feelings...I do appreciate you trying to help.
What I really need help on is my basic first question regarding acautos. Does anyone have any experience with them or more knowledge about them? Thanks to all again, David.
P.S. I have been to quite a few shows in the past.
