first build project
as a first build go for something simple and basic, such as one of the many type 7 clones availible if you are feeling adventureous go for a locost but buy the book before you decide, and really absorb it
if you cant, or dont trust your welding there are plenty of firms that are well established and have a good repution that could sell you a chassis pack and suspention units plus all the panels are single compound curve, and again easily gotton hold of if you mess up making your own
engine, go for what ever you want from ford or whatever but again a ford pinto and type 9 gearbox would make the most sense, cheap and simple to understand and very tunable but most of all have fun building it and take your time, measure up twice cut once as the old saying goes
if you go down the route of buying a part built, go in with your eyes open, expect to have to at least check everything thats been built never take for granted that the previous owner got it right , i found this out on my charger i had to throw a way what was once brand new parts because they had not been protected against damp and had corroded
