Howdy All,
Was doing some research on my 1st "real" hot rod and chanced upon this place. Looks like my kinda hang-out...
I've been a hot-rodder wannabe since about 1964... Does that date me or what?? Cut my teeth at Deer Park drag strip. An old airfield about a 1/2 north of Spokane, WA. I was a pre-teen and was hooked from the first drop of the flag! (I could tell you some stories about that place!)
Life happened... I've had lots of cars...but I've always "wanted" in my bones to build something. Well... here I am. Right now I'm putting together plans/ideas for a simple rod. Either a T-bucket type or??? I've always had a soft spot for the '29 Ford roadsters.
My budget is non-existent... So my guiding rules are 1. Safe
2. Low budget/simple design 3. Must be fun driver.
Anyway... Input is always welcome (actually 'hoped for') and my questions will be many, I'm sure.

My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
