Pulled the Trigger, Coupe on order

[JOE A]

Well, after several years of analyzing, procrastinating and worrying about the economy I finally sent the check to FFR. I actually went to the Hot Rod Build School at Mott several years ago, but, after careful analysis, I was drawn to the Coupe for it's historical significance as well as it's brute beauty. I am an ex street rodder, have had a few muscle cars and have restored a 57 Nomad, but have not had a toy in a while. I want to thank Steve (Riptide Motorsport) in Davie, Fl., for being kind enough to let me take a look at his Coupe and even give me a ride. I have been collecting parts for the past year including a Ford Racing 302 Long Block, rebuilt T5, 8.8 with 3:73 gears, GT40 replica wheels and a bunch of miscellania. Looking forward to the build and I will not be shy about using the great resources on this forum.

Congratulations! Looking forward to the updates. Now that I am "finished", I depend on new builds to keep me coming back. It keeps my build alive.

Welcome to the crazy world of coupes Joe. :-)

I love to see when someone gets a new coupe. I'm jealous but just not crazy enough to wear that coupe straight jacket! Good luck on your build.

WEK.

Raise your right hand and say after me,

"I (State your name), do swear/affirm, that upon acceptance of this "Revered Coupe Jacket", will willingly subject myself to all manner of frustration and abrasion that my FFR Type 65 will provide. I further pledge that any and all fellow Coupe builders will have free reign in using the cash available in my wallet as they see fit to improve my build plan. I will not look down upon our fellow Roadster builders, but rather take pity on those not talented enough to build a race car with a roof, So Help Me God!"



It is my pleasure to present you with the "Revered Coupe Jacket", Here's your sign!!

It is with pride and great humility that I accept my "Revered Coupe Jacket". Thanks for the well wishes. I have received a completion date of 8/23/14, so we'll see how it goes.
