Thought I'd stop in and introduce myself. I'm 18 and have been into cars for a long time. I've really only been into muscle cars until the past year or so I've begun to find myself fascinated with hot rods/rat rods.

I've owned 3 project cars so far. A 1968 Plymouth Sport Satellite (original 383 4V, PW, AC, 8 track), 1967 Mercury Cougar (289 2V, PS, AC) and most recently a 1965 Mustang Fastback (A code 289, Pony interior). I'm currently on the hunt for a new project and originally I was looking for another MoPar project, but now I've been thinking about finding something Pre-60's. I'm not really sure what exactly I want to try to find, but there are a lot of old cars around here ranging from muscle cars to old 20's iron.

I'm not sure if there are certain cars that might prove easier to do for a beginner. This car will probably be done in installments. I'll first try to get it drivable, then when time/money permit I'll get to work on the body and lastly I'll finish up the interior. I've got a very decent chuck of cash saved up and I think I should be able to get a decent finished project for my budget. It won't have nice paint or flawless interior, but it should be a fun car.

Welcome Tumbler!

welcome to the club.

A fellow Tucsonan! Welcome.

Where abouts in Tucson are you from? I'm up in the NE side of town. Do you make it to any of the Little Anthony's shows?

I'm southeast, and go to about every other Little Anthony's show.

Welcome Tumbler, that's an impressive list of cars for one so young. You should be proud of them. For your next one, you might consider a Studebaker, still quite a few around, but not something you see everyday. Parts are amazingly available too. Good luck no matter what you find, keep us posted.

Thanks. The Plymouth and the mercury I found and asked if they were for sale. I got them pretty cheap. The fastback I bought from someone a little ways down the street, but it was more of a money making venture, never really drove it except for test runs. Thanks for the suggestion as well. Not sure when I'm going to start a hot rod project. Might be a few years down the road. I might just go with another muscle car for now.

Welcome to CHR Tumbler!! Nice rides you got there. Always like that year for the Mustang fastback and Cougar. Of course any year Mopar is a good year.
