I read Jay Storer's "How to Build a 1933-34 Ford Street Rod" cover to cover before I even ordered my roller body/chassis, and I found it to be a good "overview", magazine article approach to the information. There's also one for '32's and one for '35-'40's. Like Don says, first decide what you want to end up with, then plan, plan, plan before you start spending money. Jerry's advice on rear tire/wheels is 100% on target. I bet I spent a month trying to decide on my wheels & tires to get the right (in my eyes) stance, and I went to several shows where I looked more at tires than cars.
