NC Family '33 - Gen 2 Build Thread

[andyw]

We're a family of three newbs building a 33 Hot Rod. No automotive experience, but I have an obsessive-compulsive nature, fairly mechanically minded, and strong google skills :rolleyes:

Factory Five's completion date was January 22, 2022. At the moment we're waiting on delivery delay due to the snowstorm so I thought I'd take a stab at starting a build thread.

We're planning on using primarily with the hardtop but taking the top off for periods in the spring and the fall.


33 Ford - Gen 2
Blueprint SBC 383 with automatic transmission.
IRS
AC/heat
Power windows


Here's one idea we're tossing around for the look, but I suspect we'll change our minds a lot between now and then.
