projects like this are the absolute best, because every little thing you do theres almost instant approval, and the intial expense in buying a body is usually so low that you can go in almost any direction. i am absolutely jeoulous, my next project will be one of two things, either a mid 50's chevy pickup or a 67-69 camaro. gotta finish the teg, and help the pa on his new bike before i can start another though

Unlike the rice rocket you may want to build that looks like the one next to it and the one next to that ad infinitum.

Now go put your stick on graphics on your Civic and tune your fart cannon.

Yeah I am going to use this as a starting point and after this I am thinking a Model A will be next, chopped with a flathead or possibly a nailhead...all done using traditional build techniques and design.

why use traditional? budget? easier? (not a negative question....a diy question)

I'm aching to try the 'roll on $50 paint job' that was posted a few months ago. A project like this would be perfect.

im my opinion a true traditional build is a lost art, nowadays guys with classic cars got that car one of two ways, a. they bought it complete or b. they paid a shop to have what was done to it. someone who does a quality "traditional" build earns more respect from me on their car than someone who payed 100,000 dollars to have their car completed. its just not the same. and really there is no true traditional build if you think about it because every guy that does the car or truck himself adds his little touch to it making it completely unique
