Set your EXPECTATIONS!

One of the biggest dangers you will face with your hot rod project is exceeding your pocketbook and/or your level of experience. In this video, I layout some simple guidelines, and give several examples - Rust Repair, Frame Swap, Engine Swap, Collision Repair, Sheet Metal Fab - to help you choose a project.

God bless you but most if not all the cars and trucks in the field you will never finish. The fate of so many older car collectors stuff.

You're right about all the field cars. 😊But, the good news is that only four of them are on the list - the impala, the 57 and 49 chevys, and the F100. Everything else is parts.

Great video. I just can't seem to get time . I tried planning a day or half hrs here or there and then went to 10 to 15 min here or there and still can't get to it 😢.

Thanks. I definitely know what you mean especially during the summer months when the grass is growing and the to do list is infinite. You've probably noticed the only project I've got going that I have owned less than 10 years is than 67 c10. I am trying to get much better at making sure I have all the parts I need before I start a project, but I still get caught off guard.

I like watching your videos. I want to work on older cars . I don’t like these new cars.
