When you think about the car you are about to build think about its use and then decide the best possible components to meet those needs.

The B & B frame is a nice firm place to start. Decide how much HP you want/need make sure the rest of the drive train is up to snuff to handle it. Trans, rear end.

Think about your suspension - budget build= stamped steel parts vs. Upgraded Tubular A- arms etc.
Coil-over shocks vs. Traditional coil springs.

Think about your stopping power and your disk brake size -piston, etc.

I always like to over engineer this way I know the car can handle anything I send its way and I don't have to worry about breaking something---unless I do something stupid!

This would make your care ready for the occasional day at the strip or road

Keep in mind safety features that most of us add anyway weather we race or not. 5 point harness, fuel cutoff, battery cutoff, etc. It is a lot easier to build them into the car rather than add them later.
