My first post! Just ordered my GTM. Hopefully it will be delivered around end of April. My first kit car was a B&B. 427 SC, but have driven several FF5 roadsters and really like the excellent quality of the car.
I originally wanted to build the Type 65 coupe after seeing it at the Knotts Berry Farm kit car show in California some years ago. However, after seeing and reading about the GTM I simply had to build this car.
I am retired so my buddy and I, (Jonny)plan to work on this project at least 40 hrs a week. (Big talk, I know, but we'll give it our best.) Hope to post info on our build and be asking a lot of questions, since you guys are very experienced in this.thanks for taking the time to read this.

Thanks, appreciate the comment. It is a nice place to live. Just downloaded the GTM manual to see what's in store for me.
I think I'll prep body and do all my dirty work of block sanding etc. First before mechanicals. If that's a good idea or not.
Anyway, thanks again for the welcoming congrats.
