Dan's 33 Build

[dan's33]

Hello, my name is Dan, I’m 58 years young and live with my wife and two teen sons in Bradenton, Florida. Well after 2 months of waiting, Stewart Transport finally delivered my 33 Hot Rod kit. Alan, the driver, was great and kit #1070 found its new home in my garage. This has been a dream of mine for the past 15 years. I wanted to do this project with my boys before they head off to college so now’s the time. My plan is to do a roadster with bike fenders, 3-link, Wilwood brakes and a 5.0-liter Coyote with a Tremec TKO600 trans along with a Moser 8.8 rear end. The engine/trans and rear axle was purchased through FFR, so it was a one stop shop. I don’t consider myself a true gearhead and in fact I’ve never done anything like this before, as they say “I know enough to be dangerous”. I’m an Architect by trade and do a lot of construction and wood working. Although I know this will be a challenge, I picked FFR because of you guys. There is an abundance of information out there, so I don’t feel like I’m building this alone. I’m going to shout out a pre-emptive apology to all, so when I ask a dumb question, just humor me. This gives “some assembly required” a whole new meaning…
