All recommendations for parts are opinions based on our experience as a hot rod builder. Opinions are just like belly buttons, everybody has one. We will not accept liability for our opinions but we will accept reponsibility for giving you the best advice we know possible.
Building your car and finding the right parts for it often involves the discovery of hidden problems. Engineering complications are inherent in the building of street rods and the customization of old cars. So you will do well to be prepared for bumps and bruises during this delightful, rewarding, and challenging journey we call "building your own hot rod".
We recommend that you do your homework, ask questions, and keep all documentation of work completed and parts purchased in your files. Always choose reputable builders to help you with your project. Require your builder to give you detailed documentation on a weekly basis which includes written reports, photos, and invoices. A lot of people think they can open a shop and build cars for others, but when it comes down to where the rubber meets the road, they find out that it isn't as easy as it sounds.
This exciting and growing industry is a success because people like you love a challenge, love fast and powerful automobiles, and appreciate making something useful out of something used up. We appreciate you and wish you the best in your projects!
