Hello everyone. I am seriously considering a 33 hot rod build. I was talking to a friend of mine about my long time desire to build a hot rod and he suggested I take a look at Factory Five. Well, after about 10 minutes of poking around the web site I knew I had found my project. I have registered to attend the build class in late March so I can confirm this is the direction I want to go. If all goes as planned, I hope to order in the late summer time frame. I plan to build as a roadster with bike fenders. Oh and hood without side covers most of the time. I think this car begs for a 5 speed...but I see so many with automatics. Anyone care to share some insight on this? I'm also looking for some opinions about power plant choices. I am thinking of either a 302 build or a 4.6L for a more modern power plant.....thoughts?
BTW.....my first car was a 72 Buick Skylark GS 455 automatic. :-) .....I miss that car.
I look forward to being part of the Factory Five Family.
