Gorgeous car!
It always floors me how guys can build a whole car and only have 27 posts! I had ~ 2000 post before the kit arrived!
Congratulations!

Your roadster looks fantastic. I hope all goes well with the DMV. I'm from VA too, so I'm always wondering how easy (or not) the DMV will be to work with when I have my FFR roadster.

Thanks to you all. For Bobby Doug and toddhack, who wanted more info, my choices were similar to Bobby Doug's. The color is Ford RZ Red Candy 2, with GM Arctic White stripes. Engine is a SBF 302 prepped by Engine Factory in Lebanon, NJ. 331 stroker with roller cam and 4-barrel w/Cobra rocker covers and air cleaner (pix attached). Moser 3-link with 3.55 ratio, TKO 600 with manual steering and brakes, heater/defroster, and a tonneau cover from Whitby Automotive. FYI, the F5-supplied round shifter boot was too small in dia to prevent interference with the Tremec shifter regardless of where it was positioned, causing trans to pop out of gear. I replaced it with a larger Lokar 70-FMB rectangular boot, which looks great and works fine.'
For you Virginians, I sent my DMV package to Richmond via certified mail, and it was delivered a few days ago. I'll know in 3 weeks whether it worked out or not.58730
