First some introduction. My name is Mike, I'm 40 years old and I'm a car-aholic. Thinking of taking the plunge into the world of hotrods/streetrods. The style I like best I'll describe as "oldschool" The specific car I want to build is a 1927 Ford roadster highboy or track car. I have no idea where to start. Are there AFFORDABLE original bodies in decent shape available? Are there steel repro bodies available? If neither of the above who makes top quality fiberglass bodies? Next where's the best place to get a chassis? and finally (for now) I'd like to use a flat head Ford V-8 but have no clue where to find one. Please help !
Any and all suggestions are welcome and please be as specific as possible. Thanks in advance,

Mike
