Although I'm not a member of the FFR forum I do read it
and follow some of the builds. The 33 Hot Rod being one of them. I basically was trying to get the opinion of
Street rodders who are familiar with the standard frame and body styles of the originals.
I personally think it is a very good approach to a new generation Hot Rod. I like the safety factor that is built into this chassis. Something many street rods lack. The frame also tends to allow a more comfortable sitting positions. I know that my 34 Vicky was very short on leg room. It wasn't uncomfortable but it wasn't ideal either.
I also like the fact that you sit in the confines of the chassis rather than on top of it.
My observation on the suspension is HOLY SMOKES !! This thing is going to handle like a lotus elise !
Well .. maybe not that good but it will be close.
I hope the Street Rod community doesn't snub it for being
a "KITCAR" type and give it a chance. With the decline in registered street rodders I think this could help boost a renewed interest. Getting the young folks involved with something like this is great. It brings it into the affordability bracket for many of them.
I for one will keep watching Mr. Iversons build thread on FFR forum to see and hear how it does work and perform.
Thank for your comments so far.
