I built a Classic Roadster a few years ago. For a fun street cruiser I think it is a good car. If you're planning on racing, that's probably not the best choice; there are better chassis available. But all in all, I can't really point to anything as a bad design. The longer wheel base makes it a smidgen more stable on rough roads and at highway speeds. That shelf behind the seats is pretty handy, too.

Parts are fairly easy to come by, and most of the come from other cars. You can easily go down to Autozone and get new brake parts, suspension, etc. The problem is that the parts come from a lot of differant cars. So make sure you get the build manual so you know where those parts come from.
