I would like to have some kind of hot rod / toy car again. Unfortunately, my toy budget is small and my time is limited. So, what kind of vehicle would you guys suggest?

T buckets were a low cost option for building a hot rod years ago. Is this still true today? Anyone have an estimate on how long it might take to build a driver quality bucket?

It seems like Mopars from the 1950's are much more affordable than muscle era Mopars. Would one of these require less time and money than a T-bucket?

I would appreciate any advice you guys can offer on this subject. Are there any better choices?
