    Hi-boy

     



    OK, here goes. I'm a newby.
    I'm starting research to build/or restore a hot rod. I know NOTHING about it , but have built or restored other kinds of cars in the past. First question: What is a Hi-Boy? does it differ from other roadsters? Is there a book that would help me catch up on some of the terminology, or should I just start hanging out on the forums? Appreciate the help, as I know NOTHING!

    I belive a Hi Boy is a fenderless old 32-34 Ford , a well known Hi Boy is a '32 Ford Hi Boy Roadster.
