never built one from scratch....but i'd love to build a '63 vette that way.
*find a body-on-frame that's in decent shape (small amount of rust is acceptable)
*buy an old 427 and rebuild it from the ground up
*buy an old 4-speed and build a bullet-proof tranny that can take a beating
*put on a really tight suspension so it handles like a sports car should
*put on some slotted/drilled rotors and 6-piston calipers
*buy rims that look close to stock, but definitely aren't so i can put some meat on them
