what's going on guys!
Long story short my dad bought me a '30 tudor sedan shell when I turned 16 and before i was into cars. I think he paid 2k for it? anyway, i hadn't a clue what i was doing and didn't know how an engine worked... so he made me a deal, the A would become his and we picked up a sweet little '62 merc meteor s33 for 5k. deal was if i ever sold the merc he gets the cash from it and i get the model a back, until then the A was his. fair (?), right? besides being a little spoiled - yes i understand. so i was driving to school, work (this wasn't the daily) and i picked up an 09 c30 6spd when i got a full time job at 18yrs old, 2.5L I5 with a k04 turbo, from then on i was actually INTO cars. sold the merc when i was 21 to get the model a back just didn't have the funds to do anything with it... was spending all my money on the rx7 toy car, gf's rotaries and old bikes/mopeds lol
well im deployed over in the sandbox now (civ, not mil) and when i get back in January i actually want to get started on the rat rod. i now have the funds and more than enough drive to get it going. we have a rear from a first gen mustang around back that we can use and im looking at picking up this frame kit

OH YEAH if there are any Marylanders here, my dad puts on the Jalopyrama show every fall - it's this coming weekend actually this year, at the new location as of last year in howard co.
Ive been lurking a lot and reading a good bit on other sites. My goal is to build this thing functional with an engine twist, im into rotaries and would like to put a 13bREW (3rd gen rx7 engine) engine in it. Just a little something different than your standard rat rod
Hope to learn more here and maybe meet some new people
