hi everyone, i've been a member here for a little while but have not posted yet and figured i'd take a few minutes to explain a project i have in mind that i'm planning on collecting parts for pretty soon. the idea is a fiberglass t-bucket body from classglassperformance.com, a hand made (by me) 2x3 frame, ladder bar rear suspension, ford 8.8" rear end with a spool, t5 manual transmission, 2.2l ecotec 4 cyl with lots of performance goodies, and a mustang II front suspension. i know i still have a lot of decisions to make on this project and i was hoping to get some input from people on here, both on the what i have already said that i would like as well as other things that i haven't figured out yet. one thing i did decide is what i'm doing for my seat and that is to use the rear seat that i removed from my audi tt. i have built a few muscle cars for guys and have always wanted to do a street rod for myself. i do body work as a profession at a chevy, acura, honda, toyota, scion, lexus dealership so i have a good place to work on it on the weekends and after hours with top of the line equipment, frame racks, lifts, alignment racks, welders, plasma cutters, down draft prep decks and paint booths, ect. and i also get discounts on new and used parts.

thank you in advance for any input.
