I don't have much time or money but I do what I can when I can. Plans include building the truck as a 60's gasser, thrashing it on the track  , and cruising here and there. Looking forward to all the great advice and stories here.
Every time you use it is one less time it's going to work...SO USE IT UP!

You can get a lot of help around here. Oh, and about the time/money. I had kids in college/school when I bought my 37. With so much actual labor involved you can work a long time without money.... and if you can work but only 5 minutes a day, or 30 minutes on the weekend you will be surprised how much you can get done. Break it down into little 30 minute jobs and not as a mountain to climb.
After all, I spend 5 years on my 37 before I rode down the highway in it. What a good feeling..... and my thanks to my stovebolt buddies for advice, parts, and yes, a shoulder to cry on every now and then!!! | | |
