Thread: How to build a '33 Ford???

Tweet

Hey, guys.

I have a few newbie questions that maybe some of the gurus here can answer. I"ve been lurking for a while and am in the planning stages for a '33 Ford coupe. I like the look of Outlaw bodies as well as the ones from N&N. N&N seem to have the price advantage, but you probably get what you pay for, so I would appreciate any input regarding the products of these 2 companies.

For a chassis, TCI seems pretty good, again, looking for opinions. Pete and Jake seems to crop up pretty often as well. I also would like to plan out the front suspension (straight axle versus ifs). To the guys that built with a solid axle, is the ride and handling what you wanted? If you were to build again, would you go the same route?
I want to build this car to be what my FFR is not. Comfortable, enclosed and rich in creature comfort.

Thanks for any input here, hopefully, I can learn a thing or two from those that have been there.

Matt
