Well time to post my graduation pics and call her done;). Well you know they are never done. Took her out for her first drive in paint. Cruised over to Jim’s (RR20C) to borrow some alignment tools. Got her back from paint in the beginning of January. Started the journey on August 11, 2017. Man I’m already wanting to build another, loved the process of the entire build. Thanks to many of you guys here on the forum if you know it or not. Special thanks goes to my wife and family for all the support also to Jim Ausbun (RR20C) thinks for the tool rentals and advice, Paul Borrow (eEdwadb) for detailed Coyote install instruction, David Sarver (Ducky2009) and few others I can’t think of. To all the new builders or thinking about building reading this, my one advice is plan, plan and plan oh research a lot. I am so glad I got the chance to build my dream car.

I think we 3 received our kits about the same time. I just need paint. Really impressive and great work! Love it.

I think so Mark, I have been watching your build come together. Its not about how fast you get it done, but what quality you put into it. Also I do this kind of work for a living. Soooo..... don't feel to bad. Now get back to work on that thing.

Looks amazing. Congratulations on a beautiful build. If I ever were to do a blue build (no comments...) it would be similar to that color. Love it. You and Jim have a stunning pair of Roadsters. Enjoy driving and be safe.

Paul, It was fun watching this build come together with all your planning and the short time it actually took to finish. Color is perfect. Yes I wish I had an endless money supply because I would probably have one of these in every color. We just have to be satisfied will driving these cars hard and keeping them perfectly operational. I still can't believe I have one of these. Thanks Factory Five and Jeff Miller for Making our dreams a reality. Next nice day lets hit the pavement. Jim

That's funny I said to Jim you would be upset. No cheating we will all have to get together some time soon. Hey at least our cars all different colors.

Paul-

She turned out beautifully! Really well done!

Did you polish the wheels and roll bar yourself?

Congratulations on getting her finished, and I hope the weather turns nice very soon, so that you can really enjoy her.

Regards,

Steve
