The Chev dealership parts dept. here hands out a free magazine with nothing but hotrod stuff. There's hundreds of companys making stuff. Go to www.hotrods.com
Get an issue of Popular Hotrod and order every catalog in it.
A friend of mine bought a wrecked Highway Patrol mustang for $850. He used the front suspension, motor/trans, rear, a/c and seats to build a 32.
Google hot rod parts, you'll get 962,000 hits
Do you have the equipment to do a build (mig/tig, metal saw,etc)?
I want to build a T Bucket from a kit OR buy a running driving, TITLED very basic t bucket. I can't stand most of them though, they are either waaaay over the top and expensive or $10K to 12K and junk anyways. I have adequate room and a decent enough skill set, paint and bodywork not a problem. Building a frame now that would be a problem. Anybody here build a Total Performace kit or a Speedway kit I used to do paint and bodywork for a living and the only thing I ever farmed out on my C4 was the ring and pinion set up so I think I can handle it.
