    Question Questions about a new 33-34 coupe build

     



    Thank you for reading. I just joined up earlier to today and would like to research a project that I want to get started on in the coming years.

    It would be a glass bodied 33-34 coupe, in a traditional rod style with no fenders but it will have a hood, ramjet 350 w/ th350. I would be going for the lowest buck complete driver that I can manage with this platform. If you guys wouldn't mind a few questions I would really appreciate the help.

    1. Is it a no brainer to go for a rolling chassis package? Do you save coin or spend more if you build it piece by piece? I like what SO CAL and similar products from other companies have to offer.

    2. Are there issues with registering and licensing a rod built from new parts in CA? Can it still be registered as a 33-34? I've never tackled anything like this.

    3. As a rule of thumb, I imagine you're getting into more finish work as you go cheaper with the initial cost of the body. Is there a happy medium that others have found? I would like to find something with good fit and finish, but I'm not too concerned with how straight the panels are as it would likely be getting flat paint.

    Any other tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for reading, I hope this is posted in the right area!

    Jake
