I have no idea as to how much experience you have in setting up a chassis...sometimes  it's safer,  cost efficient and ends up being quicker to have someone do the major components for you.  I have a lot of experience with '23 T' Buckets ,  my first one was a learning experience with the help of an old school builder i.e. pinion angles, radius rods , pan hard bars etc. and also street rods and of course dozens of speedsters but looking at what you are getting into even if it were mine I would seriously consider investing in some help this gets you over the hum and allows for a positive direction.  Just my.02 

 

I think the chassis is set.  When I was buying the car, I was actually interviewing the man behind the car.  He set up the suspension and installed the transaxle and the engine.  I was buying the builder as much as I was buying the car.  

And, I don't mind help.  My guess is that I will get to know Greg fairly well.  His shop is not far from where I work, and I figure to time my purchases to coincide with my bigger questions.
