These forums are proving invaluable in planning for a 33 build.

The goal is: a reliable, Coyote 5 speed, as driveable and comfortable as possibile in a Northern climate. Something you could travel in for several hours.

I am looking for opinions regarding the soft top vs. hard top for practicality, noise, temp control etc. Has anyone had experienced both?

For chassis, body noise, and heat insulation, in addition to the good ideas in the forum files, would it be practical to use two aluminum panels on the inside and outside chassis tubing and fill the void with more insulation?

Is there a combination of Wilwood parts and tunnel mods that with the std trans, will provide a hyd clutch and improved driver foot box space.

Thanks for your ideas and advice.

Hi Dick, Here's a bunch of stuff I collected on making some extra room in the footwell and so forth:
