I have never built a car of the 40's or 50's but have come close to biting on a project a few times. I really would like to do one before I cash it all in. Maybe. But I enjoy reading the mags about us people that build rather than buy. So I read Hot Rod and the other associated type mags. I like the ones where the guy is a real hotrodder, not the buy paying out the $$$$$$$ for the latest and best-est parts and everything. . I have bought a coupe of sorta restored cars over the decades, a couple, and I enjoyed those till they meet their new owner. I just rather build and know what I did (good or not so good) rather than what someone did and might have done!
