Drove down to Wareham on Friday 8/11 with my son and ordered my roadster full kit. Great to see everything in person and get a tour of the factory. I'm fortunate enough to be in MA and Wareham is only 1 hr away (Sudbury, MA). FFR was working on documenting the new truck build and had some new powdercoated frames that just arrived from RI. The truck is huge! Visited Mike Forte yesterday - only 5 miles from my place - and got an education on options and a tour of his facility. I've been lurking here for a few years and educating myself on the build and MA laws for title/reg. I have to admit the title/reg seemed like the biggest obstacle. I found my crusher a few weeks ago and it's ready to go to the junk yard - 1972 Olds 98 with a 455. I'm going with a 427 so I'm covered, displacement wise. Delivery date from FFR is 11/4. Now I'm busy ordering various parts and tools, and getting my shop coverted from wood to part auto shop. Thanks for all the help so far, and I'm sure I'll be posting lots of questions. Cheers!

Congratulations! The wait will be painful.... :-)

My kit completion date is this Saturday (8/19), then I wait a bit for the guys from Stewart to make the big delivery.
