Pretty new myself but more local (or loco) than some, just down the street (I-25)just south of Pueblo in Colorado City. Tearing down a '37. I plan on keeping it as stock as possible, if it hadnt been so complete I would have done more street rod t ype things. Everyone has to make those decisions and draw theirown personal line.If the old 216 kaputs I more than likely will not suffer through the rebuild of an old low pressure, babbit bearing engine but will not modify anything that cant be put back to stock someday if someone wanted. My dad had a 3100, kept it till he passed. He bought one for me when I was 16 that had the visor, interior fan mounted on the dash, twin spotlights and lighted hood ornament. A 20 year old pickup blinged out wasnt cool for a chick magnet in '72 and I got a '57 belair, but I sure wish I had it now! have fun, take it slow and you'll have a conversation piece to be proud of. Like I tell everyone, all you need is TIME, MONEY and PATIENCE. If one of those components is lacking; you'll have to double up on one of the others! take a look at the photo gallery to see what others have done.
