It takes a lot of hard work and devotion to get these results! These guys aren't professional builders... just dedicated hobbyists










I love the overflow bottle!!


Yep, it's a HEMI

Those are some nicely built cars. I have always loved they way they look when built right.

Beautiful....simply beautiful! I have always liked going to car shows. Restorations are one thing, but thoes t-buckets are over the top.

Build your own custon T-bucket.

I found that site a while back after getting bored with my Mustang. I helped a buddy build a pretty sweet 65 Cobra replica and was thinking of taking on my own hot rod project. Those looked like a good base to start with. Build it, drive it for a couple of years, and sell it for a profit to start all over again on something else.

Nice link, Unc! Started clicking on just the basics... over $10,000.00 usd. No engine, no assembly, just a box of parts. They'll put it together for you if you want to pay the $$$$. But isn't putting it together more than half the fun?

I think I was around 11 grand for the options I wanted. I would put it together myself though. Like you said, that's the fun part.

EDIT: $10,000 isn't really that much money when building a street rod. By the time you paint it, add an engine and tranny, you'll have at most $25,000 into it. At most, but probably less.
