Rsnake Coupe Build Thread R/street

[Rsnake]

Hello,

I built a roadster about 2 years ago and enjoyed the build so much I decided to build a Coupe.
Paul and his analysis of the coupe pushed me into it plus the Coupes are so unique. I didn't put much on the roadster build thread as I hate typing on the computer and would rather do videos. So I have a channel on Youtube and will be posting frequently.
I want to thank everyone for all the help on this forum as it's a huge benefit to building a Factory five car. I don't know Paul, but this community wouldn't be what it is without him and his expertise. Thank you Paul!
Here is the link to the youtube channel.

Any positive or negative feedback will be appreciated.
Thank You

I'd love to build one too, but don't think I have the skills to pull one off and do it properly.
I just subscribed to your YOUTUBE channel so maybe one day I'll join the club.
Good Luck & Have A Great Build!

Thanks for the generous shoutout. I'm feeling a lot of pressure now. :p Seriously, enjoy the build. I sure did. I'll be interested to see your progress. The final result is an absolute blast.

Congrats on receipt of your kit! I'm looking forward to some build videos (subscribed). I just received my Coupe at the end of December, so I'll be excited to see yours progress too.

Ron,
Congratulations to you as well. We will have to compare notes as we progress.

I just found your Youtube build videos about a Month ago the short 5 to 10 min. episodes are a great format. I have been wanting to build a Gen 3 Coupe for some time now and your build has been very inspiring to watch . I just joined the FFR Forum this month and have already gained a wealth of information which will help me in the checking the box`s part of the FFR order form. the plan is a Complete Kit, 302/351 5 speed trans IRS, AC/PS.

B Campbell, between the forum and my YouTube site you should be able to build one serious coupe.
I am trying to show as much detail as possible without boring everyone. Thanks for watching and get it ordered.
Thanks

I pulled the trigger this morning the kit is ordered.

I have watched your videos nonstop since I ordered my kit a few days ago.
I do fear that I have bitten off more than I can chew with the coupe, given my limited knowledge.
But I will try my best.

I have studied so much over the past few days...

I bet you'll surprise yourself. You don't have to do it all at once and you don't have to do it alone. As I'm sure you're already figured out, the forum is very helpful and encouraging. If you get stuck ask, if you're waiting on an answer do another unrelated task. There's almost always something that can be done. Just get in your workspace and make progress, everyday if possible even if it's just to clean up. Can't tell you how many times I've gone to the garage just to clean up from the mess I left the previous day and next thing I know I'm starting on a new task or finishing up an old one. Also, don't beat yourself up if you miss a day or two or even a week or two, just get back out there at the next opportunity and get moving on it again. It'll all come together and you'll surprise yourself with how quickly you make progress.

Happy Building!

That’s awesome.
Thank you so much for words of encouragement.
I have been amazed by all the cool people in this community.

Greg, sorry for resurrecting an inactive thread... my netflix account has also gone inactive for a bit, I've binge-watched your youtube videos! Great stuff, thank you. I will be relying on those, Mr. B's build thread, among many others. As I didn't watch most in 'real-time', forgive me for this inquiry. Trying to be a little cryptic with this, thinking I have the chronology off a bit between when you received your registration and many of those trips to Alice's, the autocross track, etc. Any tips or tricks, you know a guy, or good karma? Probably I just have it confused. Anyway, appreciate the time you put into documenting your build. Great car. - Aaron
