OPINONS WANTED ON NEW BUILD

I am new to the street rod scene. I have owned a custom & collision shop for over 25 years, involved in completing award winning muscle car restorations & race car paint work, just never personally doing a ground up street rod build ,only on the refinishing end. I am starting to do the research to build a rod for myself . Still trying to make a final decision on a 32 Coupe or a 41 Willy's. After searching the internet I have found the web site,-- VERY NICE!
I am looking for a complete roller, feeling this would help take out some of the 1st time guess work.
I am open to your professional opinions.
Can anyone maybe help with any frequently asked questions?
Can anyone let me know your opinion on pros/cons of the two styles I am looking at?
Are there any manufactures/builders you would or would not recommend?
Any info would greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance  

The most important thing I can say, is build what you want, whether or not other people like it isn't the end all be all, I mean you will be the one driving it. Also have fun with it!  

YOU WILL NEVER REGRET BUILDING FROM SCRATCH,THEN YOU CAN SAY I BUILT THIS, NOT I BOUGHT A KIT AND ASSEMBLED IT.
MOST PEOPLE BUY CAR DONE,
GO AROUND THE CAR SHOW AND ASK IF THEY BUILT OR BOUGHT IT.
MOST BOUGHT
THE BUILDERS ARE THE TRUE HOT RODERS  

Pick up a Street Rodder magazine. They are loaded with advertising from the vendors that have everything you need or want, and many do any level of completion you want.  

mikej6......Not everyone has the skills, tools, or the time to build from scratch.
