Thread: How to build a '33 Ford???

Tweet

Yeah, Bob, I looked at that site. The guy turned out a real piece of art. That site was where I saw N&N for the first time. He seems real happy with their product. I have seen the bodies Outlaw makes and they look pretty good, at least to the eyes of a novice. The best part of the '33 build site, IMO, is the detail of "how to" finish an interior. If you know of any pictures of that seat arrangement, I'd like to get a look. Thanks

The only pics I've seen of the seats installed is Article 175 on seatbelts under the interior section. One word of caution I'd suggest, if those Tea's Design seats appeal to you, is see if you can find them at a major rod run, or contact Tea's and see if there's a dealer near you. You'll want to sit in one of them for a while and see if they work for you. The way they've made the, what I would call, "exaggerated" lumbar doesn't work for my back. Other's I've known swear by them. It's one of those personal fit items that needs thorough examination.

Matt do the FFR guys know what your up to?? J/K.... are you thinking of using a Ford engine?? I hope??

Yeah, blue oval all the way. I think a well built S/B with a Vortec blower is the way I want to go.

I would be kicked out of the Capital Area Cobra Club if they knew I wanted windows . The F5 is a rush to drive and gets plenty of attention, but it is a fair weather friend. I think the Cobra replica is a great start point to see if you really want to invest your every waking moment (and available penny) into building your own car from scratch. I know the '33 will be a much more involved and expensive build, but now I know I love it.

LOL yea mine came and went year ago. Gots and old ratty Cat to fix up now.

Well good luck this sounds like a nice project!!
