HEY BLUE: Go for it! I am just North of you in Noblesville, Indiana and have a 1938 Lafayette street rod. Big advantage that you have is access to a shop and other people who are willing to help you. That is the best school there is available. There is a Swap Meet at Ind State Fair Grounds on Sunday, November 30, 2003 which would be good to attend and see some hot rod parts. Good Luck.... You won't have to worry about spare time or spare money for the rest of your life!! Because you won't have any...DAVE
