Indy14 Build Thread

[Indy14]

Well, I guess its time to start my build thread. I'm Steve from Indiana and my Factory Five Mk 4 Roadster has arrived and is being built. I've waited 43 years for this type of car. I was lucky enough to meet a gentleman named Jeff that let me ride in his Factory Five Roadster and will help me build my car. I will create a website for my build because looking at others was the way I learned most of what I know about Factory Five Roadsters. Also just to be correct, Jeff will build the car. I may be able to hand him a tool or part when needed.
What prompted me to start a build thread was after I went out to help Jeff work on my car. He had installed the brake & fuel lines. He did an excellent job. Looks like it came from a factory.
Thanks for doing a great job.
See the website (http://web.me.com/slbrown2/StevesRoadsterBuild/Arrival.html) for progress.

Build is much further along that this post would indicate. We started the thread on another forum.

Steve, any updates? I followed your other thread too but havent seen any info as of late. Whats the color choice? A red version of Jeffs aggressive All Black?:D

Right now Jeff is busy (I hope) getting the body ready for primer, then paint. Last time I was to the car he had washed the body in solvent twice, washed with with soap and water, ground all the seams and is in the process of block sanding the body.
I've decided on Mazda Miata True Red with white stripes.
There are a few more pictures on my build website.
