Greetings!!
I stumbled across the Factory Five website and couldn't believe what I saw. Historically accurate cars that are well engineered, buildable and are actually reliable transportation. I really like the Type 65 Coupe. I ordered the construction manual and believe I can actually build it, too. My only concern is whether my 6'-2" 250# frame will fit in it.

Great cars, great company and great forum. I always enjoy reading the advise from sheet metal to motors to paint and ALWAYS like the pictures of completed cars. I only wish there were more shows, etc, where I could see completed cars.

Anyway, great to be here!!

I have two posts, I know. I made the first post, "New Guy" and didn't see it posted for several hours, so assumed I didn't push the right button or something, so posted again. I'm sure newbies get a pass.

Welcome from a FIB down south of the border. Lots of FFRs in America's Dairyland - there's also a guy near me (Wheaton, IL - I think) that drives his Coupe to RA for track days and even hauls a small trailer behind it, then camps at the track. Now that's a car you can live with!!!

Thanks for the welcome. I'll watch for him next time I'm at RA.
