First Car Ideas

Welcome Joe! Just looking at the way you express yourself, how well you write, and how much you seem to admire your Dad.......I'm predicting that you are going to do very well in this hobby. I'm 50 years older than you, but car buddies tend to not pay a lot of attention to age. My first car was a 70 Duster, which I bought in 1974 as a junior in high school. @rumblefish360 gave very good advice, and I'll 2nd everything he said. I think you will be money ahead if you get a Duster with the best body you can find. Even if you have to travel for it. Heck...that would be a fun trip for you and your Dad, to go on a reasonable road trip to pick up an unrusty Duster to build your first car! Again, welcome....and thanks for giving us old guys some hope that this hobby won't die out when we do!
