Thanks,

How hard? Depends on your fabrication skill.

Parts source? George Petrus, Kirkham, Shelby, Cobra Restorers, etc. for original style parts.

Crazy? Define crazy....

Knowledge of suspension geometry? None if building the same as originals.

Plans? Got 289 Leafspring chassis plans. Will share for food, knowledge or help.
