Just signed up,have been following FF since the beginning and have always wanted to build. Looks like its time.

Last Sept, my daughter and boyfriend - car guy also - and the wife and I road tripped up to FF to see the cars in person. What a great trip! It itch to build has been bad ever since.

We did the tour of the place and were there for about an hour. As we were about to leave Dave shows up and gets talking with us and we were there for another hour! Everyone there was super friendly and couldn't have been more welcoming.

Daytona Coupe is the one. I guarantee my build will be not typical.

Nice! I did the same thing before I ordered my roadster kit. I'm almost ready for go-carting but I'm just waiting on one more part
Where in Maryland do you live?

Figured I'd post an update for those that might care: I cancelled my kit over frustrations dealing with FF during this covid BS. Really disappointed since I've been wanting to build one since the company started. Visiting FF and meeting Dave,went great and just added to the excitement. Then when ordering/trying to communicate with FF things went south. Too bad, because I won't be trying again. Cost me 1k also for the experience.

sorry to hear that, if you don't mind me asking what were the issues?
