I've always had late 60's and 70's as far as hotrods. I want to build a early, probrably 40's, hotrod, sbc, 6 or 8-71, PG trans, with a good rear end, like a 9in ford. I'd like something that has some room and that I can install a cage that will certify to 8.50, 1/4 mile. I'll have my chevelle as a cruiser, but I still want to keep this 1 street legal. A fast toy in other words. I love the 30's cars, like a 34 or 5 chevy but there's not to much room there. What's the best cars for parts availability, and something that don't cost an arm and a leg. I know alot of the fords are sought after. A friend is building a 38 ply business coupe that is a pretty neat old car. Everything you find around here is going to have rust, so I'd like something I can get replacement panels for, chrome trim, etc. I'll more than likely use a camaro sub frame and build the rear chassis. This will take awhile, I'll build as I can afford, and hopefully I'll get ti done before I get to old to drive it. Any advice will be appreciated. Don't want to run onto a good deal only to find I can't buy crap for it. Thanks for listening.
