There's a whole bunch of latitude in your question depending on your vision for why you're doing this, what you want to end up with, and how long you plan to keep it/or building to turn.

For instance, and this isn't all inclusive, do you envision the 32 as a hiboy, full fendered, traditional, high tech, ratty, or what? On the Willys are you thinking drag style, pro touring, high tech, whatever? You thinking glass or metal? Lots of choices, each has an affect on responses (well, meaningful ones anyway).

Not knowing your experiences I'm not sure where you fall on why these two different types of car appeal. My first suggestion would be for you to find a way to drive a reasonable example of each that fit your desire. You may find that the early glow of expectation doesn't match up with reality, or it may. Just as a for instance, you may not like the steering/ride/handling of a solid front axle car, but an independent suspended one fits your feel just fine. Both these styles are relatively short wheelbase cars, tight cabins, good size blind spots to the quarter view, and not always the most comfortable depending on what you expect. There are solutions that not all builders have learned/figured out yet to some of those problems, but who knows if they would apply to you.

You're doing a good thing with questions to learn before taking the plunge, just need to take it to the next level. Hands on is a better teacher than "bench racing" .
