I attended last year. My main interest is T Buckets. T Bucket items were non existant at vendors. I have no interest in 55 Chevies with lambo doors, fuel injected blower and $50,000 worth of chrome. Also since I am on a limited budget the prices for entry are way too high. Perhaps this forum isn't for me and my shoe string budget, since most here seem to have unlimited resources. Thanks for asking and reading. Van

No one on here has unlimited funds to buy anything and everything you need or want. We all come to this site to get INFORMATION to BUILD our dream car. Friends are the best resource you have when wanting to get something done to your project, be it parts fabrication or labor to remove or install parts, to wiring the thing. It's all free for the fun of building a Hotrod. There are seveal people on here that didn't know what a tie rod or a tubing bender was until they started their build. There are Policemen, computer geeks, factory workers and more of every walk of life kind of people that are chasing the DREAM of owning a Hotrod that they BUILT.
Don't get discouraged because of someone not having the same opinnion as you, or not having the money to BUY what you need right now. We all save in a special way to get what we need for our projects, and eventually we finish what we started. Some I know have taken 3, 7, 15 years to complete.
The BEST way to get the parts you need for your Bucket is to buy from the Forum Sponcers that advertise here. All are not the same in prices and or the quality you might be wanting for SHOW and GO, but I guarenty [sp] you they will all be a safe and functional part that will work as designed. Call any one of them and you will be surprised at how personable they all are, as well as knowledgable and not want to JUST TAKE YOUR MONEY as others vendors will do. All will tell you what works and don't work with other parts from their inventory or the other vendors//ie// windshield posts. I know from first hand experience. I've bought from most of them.
Don't leave the Forum because of a rift or disagreement with another member, or members. We all joined to learn and share what info we have with building these great little Hotrods.We all get frustated from the build/life/health/ or any numerous problems that pop up. We all do. The older I get, the more I learn by just listening and reading and asking questions, especially WHY when I don't understand something. Keep plugging along and ask when you need to know something, and picures ARE worth a thousand words. I have been known to answer my own questions by just looking at a picture that someone had posted.
This is the BEST FORUM for T-BUCKET BUILDERS on the web. There are others, and some of us belong to them, and participate to better the safe, reliable, and best looking Hotrods in the WORLD. Check them out if you want, and you will see the difference. Go to the MAP and see what I mean.
