New from Illinois

[KRogers]

Hello......I'm Kevin from Illinois. I've been reviewing this forum and associated websites for a few weeks now. Sorry about the belated intro.
I've been a gearhead all my life and have spent the last 25+ years pursuing a drag racing addiction with a close friend. To help pay for some of this addiction, he and I did chassis work for other racers. Eventually, we found ourselves spending so much time fixing and building for others, we had little or no time left to work on our own toys. But, that chapter is closed and I decided a couple months ago to build a car I've always wanted.......a T Bucket. I've wanted a bucket since I was a kid.....and that's a long time! So I've been on a mission of discovery. Thanks to the web, I quickly found RPM, Spirit, WinTec and this forum. What a great forum with a wealth of information!
Let me apologize ahead of time for what I'm sure will seem like very basic questions and concerns. I've never built a street rod before. But, I'm sure looking forward to this!
Thanks for all your help!

Welcome Kevin, :hi: we have an excellent source of info here, and we won't even make you search for all of it. When you start your build, we do require pictures though.
