Hi all. I have loved cars for most of my life. Sadly, I have spent most of my time trying to keep the pieces of junk that I could afford running instead of doing something cool with one. Well, I have recently graduated college and with the more money comes more opportunity.
I have recently received a 1989 (I think) full size bronco from my brother for Free. Instead of refusing it for want of another junker, I am trying to make something out of it. I have a couple of options as I see it. Fix what's wrong (Leakey head gasket and wiring issues) only to sell it and fund a Rat Rod of some type, or break out the torches and wrenches and get to work.
The second option sounds more fun, but the first more sane. My dad helped foster a love of hot rods, but though I liked the glossy paint and uber chromed engine compartments, I could never see myself driving a car that I could feasibly eat off the air cleaner. Recently a buddy turned me onto a cool pic of a rat rod, and the rest, I hope is history.
So thanks for reading my long winded post, and I hope to learn something from you all.
