Welcome to the club. The other guys are leading you on the right path, with the carshows and determining your skill level before getting into a project. It will save you a lot of time and money.

When you do decide on a vehicle, post some pics. If you need help, the guys here have good answers on just about everything.

Good luck with the search!

I recomend a Camaro!

Welcome to CHR!! Other than looking at pictures we love to offer opinions and to answer your questions.

What has been said before is all good info. One of the first things you need to figure out other than the availability of time and money, is what age cars are you interested in? "Hot Rod" covers a lot of territory, but usually conjures up the thought of a 1920's to 40's era car. Once you make that decision, then start the regiment of looking and shopping. As the others have said go to shows and events, talk to the people there and get a good feel for what you like.

My first choice would be to buy a finished or nearly finished car. (Is any car ever really finished?? ) You can sometimes get good prices on them and right now it's a buyers market for street rods. You can get a nice one for probably less than half of what it would cost to build one. Of course if you have lots of time and are mechanically inclined, getting a project car and completing the build might be a good way to go.

In any case, welcome to the forum and join in as often as possilbe.
