You’ve finally decided to build your first hot rod. Chances are good that it’s going to be an early Ford—probably a roadster. But will it be a ’28-’31 Model A, a ’32, or a ’33-’34? All are popular. All are cool. All are

Driving project cars, regardless of condition, is perhaps the most rewarding aspect of owning them, but it’s not easy keeping middle-aged iron on the road. While tooling our ’62 Ford Galaxie 500 XL to the office, we counted no less than 15 bushing-

The SplitFire Performance V roadster was bolted together the last time we saw it but needed a substantial amount of fine-tuning. The final assembly, paint, polishing of chromed components, coating of nonchromed pieces, and interior took more than a month. Spli
