Is building the car important to you?
Yes, it is... I've wanted to build a project like this for 25 years...

Do you have the time and skills to build and maintain a true kit, or would you prefer a mostly finished car where you pick the engine, transmission and wheels?
My plan is to build everything but drop in a crate engine and aftermarket transmission on it, after she running, then get her primed and painted by a pro. I have the basic skills needed just can't build an engine or my own paint yet...

What is your goal for the car (e.g., a faithful reproduction of an original, or weekend cruises, or drag racing, or cross country trips, etc)? Car will be used for cruising, possibly drag racing or cross country trips.

Does it have to be a brand new car, or would you prefer a used car if it could be obtained for the right price? I'd prefer brand new but the right used car could convince me to go that route.
Thanks guys!
