Happy Day!!!!

Hello!
My name is Chris (ricobrafan - may need to change due to the coupe) and I live in Rhode Island. I previously owned FFR #3033 which was sold in May and I just put my deposit down on a Type 65 coupe! A big thank you to Courtnie, Dan and Dave Smith! The roadster was purchased built/assembled but I took the car from a complete donor to a non-donor car. I learned lot and built up the confidence to complete a build from the beginning. I have already talked and met with many great coupe builders/owners and everyone has been very helpful, especially Matt from Mass. I am planning a fairly traditional build. Here are a few details:
Complete Kit
Powered Coated
2015 IRS with Sway Bar
Front Sway Bar
Wilwoods Front and Rear
Fuel Cell Cage (Fuel Safe Cell)
Power Steering
Heat/AC
Wipers
Kirky High Back Seats
Wheels TBD
Motor - SBF 363 - Specs TBD
The delivery date is set for June 18th. I will start a formal build tread once I get going. Any and all feedback will be welcomed!!!:D:D:D:D

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!!

Thanks Hanki. It now feels reel. I hope I can keep up to the high standards that have been set by those before me. As far as $$$, I just visited Russ Thomson's site and I could take one of everything for the coupe. I look forward to posting updates and getting feedback. Thanks and ENJOY!
