All in all they aren't that hard to build. It depends on how traditional you want to go with the car. There is no way in hell I would put MII A-Arms under one or update it with AC, power brakes or power steering.

Solid front axle and quick change rear on a suicide front design and a flathead V8 pushing out about 160hp FTMFW...fuck anyone who puts an SBC into an old rod.
only because i have a love for the flathead and i'd rather see it in a fully restored car as opposed to that thing

we just finished rebuild a flathead v8 for a merc... thing was a fucking TANK!
