Having sold an early MkII roadster a few years ago, the itch to build another factory five car has overwhelmed me. The plan this time is a traditional hot rod with the 32 grill. I’d love some input before I hit send.
My plan is the following:
33 hot rod roadster with soft top
32 deluxe grill / no hood or sides
LS motor with TKO 500
Donor 8.8 with four link
Manual steering and clutch
Air-conditioning
Bench seat
Platinum gauges
Powder coated chassis.
The goal of the car is for it to be very drivable. I’m not a show car guy, and own enough vehicles that are old and fragile. My 12-year-old daughter wants to be an engineer and I figure it’s a great father daughter project to get her thinking about how things go together.
Are there anything that I need to plan ahead for work by now while I’m ordering?
