Hello,

I'm planning to build a type 65, but I've never laid eyes on one in person. Would appreciate the chance to see one before I pull the trigger. I live in Chantilly VA (20152) and work in south east Washington DC. Thanks

Hi John -

I'm pretty close to you in Leesburg. My car just got delivered today. So I don't have a completed one to show you. But if you'd like to see what the kit looks like, you're welcome to come by and see it.

Hello to both Doug and John. I live in Warrenton and just placed an order for a type 65. It is expected to arrive Feb 2022. How are your builds coming along? I'd love to come by to check them out and maybe get some lessons learned.

Thanks!

Hi Thomas,

Still looking at the options here. Curious what engine are you going with?

Hi John,

This being my first build, I'm trying to keep it simple. I'm going to go with a Blueprint engine/trans. Probably the 347 with carbs. I haven't ordered the engine yet, probably will do that closer to the end of the year. They said it is currently taking 16-20 weeks from order to completion of the engine.
