Hi all -
After a good deal of lurking and studying, I'm officially checking in. I'm down at the southern end of Illinois, 100 miles or so east of St. Louis.
For a long time I've wanted to take on a rebuild or hot rod project with my kids (Girls 7 & 12). Over the years, I've had a couple of friends that have picked up t-buckets. There's not much on the road that looks as awesome and fun as a bucket. I can't help but think it would be a great opportunity for my girls (and myself) to learn a lot.
With the kids in mind, I've been thinking about a 4-seater like the Wintec Roadster. Anybody out there had experience with this? Are there other options to consider for a 4-seater? We'll probably just stick with a Chevy 350 for simplicity and parts availability.
As we progress on this, I know we'll have questions out the wazoo. I'll try not to be too much of a pest. In the meantime, I'm studying the $3000 Roadster book. Are there any other books or manuals that anyone can recommend?
I've already learned a lot from this site. Everyone seems eager and willing to help each other out. Maybe we'll see a day when I can contribute something.
See ya!
