Jokes aside, this GTM was awesome though, it had the driver seat in the middle of the car.

Line up of cool Cobra's

[John Dol]

Great day in the neighborhood. Got to talk to many great people in the community, look at awesome cars and spent quality time with my son!!
Definitely came away with some new idea's.
Although the weather was not great, the turn out was and even though there were a few sprinkles people didn't care and the band kept playing.

Thank you Dave Smith, the crew from FFR and all the volunteers. Hopefully next year I'll be able to bring my car.

It was nice to meet and chat with you at HB. Can't wait to see you finished Coupe.

[vnmsss]

Good times, for sure!!! So awesome to catch up with so many friends, and to meet so many new folks!!! I love our community!! Thanks to David Hodgkins and family for hosting another excellent Pro-HB Party, and to Sally and Tony for the hard work setting up and taking care of all the details throughout the day! Congratulations to all the car show award winners, and a big kudos to Doug Deffebach for receiving the 2015 Factory Five Legacy Award! Your work over the many years on behalf of the community is deeply appreciated!

Sorry I couldn't make it this year! It's always great seeing everyone aand checking out the cars. Maybe next year. Thanks for all the great photos too.

I posted some pictures and videos on the event. Really neat to meet all those Factory Five related people and builders.

I hope to catch up with the Coupe builders next year, or maybe sooner. Probably should do some pre-arranging or have a meeting place in mind or something.

The YouTube vidoes are more for my reference as I get to the later stages of my build. For example, where to hide headlight relays under the hood, how the front clip assembly hinges to the chassis, how the headlight wires route back to the main harness, stuff like that.
