NC Family '33 - Gen 2 Build Thread
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
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.
