Hello All, I bought my FFR Roadster a few days ago and I can't wait to get started. Actually I can. I think I have patience. I have also tempered my enthusiasm quite a bit, being very mindful of the current supply chain issues, back-orders and delays. My expected delivery from FFR and Stewart Transport is late February 2022. I have signed up for the Build School in January 2022. My MkIV is a complete kit with IRS, and all the bells and whistles. Double Adjustable Konis at the corners with Sway Bars front and rear. Upgraded Willwoods all around to help it stop. I'm installing a Blueprint Engines 427 with a Holley Sniper EFI and the Tremec TKX Transmission to make it go.

I will have lots of questions, having very little experience under a hood, none under a car completely. I'm looking forward to this adventure, and hope to find some local events to learn from and builders to share ideas with. I have been reading all your posts for a few weeks, and already know of several different paths I will take to make this my own. Look forward to meeting you guys soon...

Rob

Hey Robheck. Welcome to the madness. There is a good group of FFR guys in the Sacramento area. I’ll send you a message with more info.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like a great build!

You mention having very little experience working on cars. Don't worry about that at all. The build manual is pretty good and in general things go together well. When things don't make sense or aren't going together right, the folks here are helpful and will get you through it (and spend your money too).

Enjoy build school! I am jealous, we were planning on going to build school but it just didn't happen. I hear good things about it and that it really helps.

Welcome aboard. I can't wait to see your build!
