Well, sounds like both of you are ready for all the fun of a build! Do your shopping carefully. There are a ton of shops selling deuce frames and bodies, some good and some not so good. I would suggest making quality a higher priority in your shopping then price.... Building a Hot Rod is just like building anything else, quality compononents make for a quality finished product..... Other thing I would suggest is don't be afraid to pursue your own ideas on the build.... There's a gazillion deuces out there and to have a car that will stand out from the rest takes some engineering and a lot of thought and planning, trial and error.... IMO the 3 things that will separate your car from "all the others" is fit, finish, and detail, go for the best you can even if it does take a bit longer to achieve!!!

Oh yeah, and have fun while you're building it!!!
