Nice pile of parts - and you will be happy with the TCI chassis. I'll caution you on one thing though - I have a '31 version. TCI installed the motor mounts in the wrong location on mine - 1" too far back for my SB Ford. It gives you lots more fan to radiator room, a positive with a SB Chebbie but can play havoc with the firewall. So instead of only having to dimple a couple of spots on my Brookville firewall for transmission bolts I had to do a complete rebuild.
Regardless of what problems I had, my chassis turned out nicely with black powder coating to contrast with all of my chrome and stainlessDave W
