    are there many Multiple Kit Builders out there?

    Just finished my FFR roadster in September. Thinking of of starting another, what appeals to me at this time is the 33 Hot Rod. Any comments from previous builders? Would a 2nd kit of a different model be easier?

    I would probably do some of the same upgrades as I am 72.

    such as ps, pb, hyd clutch.

    I'm just about to finish up on my 4th kit car. They've all been different. Like everything else, it get easier every time, because you learn things. What not to do, how to do things easier, etc. You also get better ideas with each car. After you drive one around for a while, you begin to think about stuff you should have done. Or should NOT have done.

    I'll be starting my tenth soon. IMO this is the order of difficulty. Easiest to hardest. This list is based on Gen2 Type 65. I have not yet done a gen3.

    2. 818
    3. 33 Hotrod
    4. type65
