Delivery + First month of build progress

[Morrisett]

Excited to take delivery of the coupe over Labor Day Weekend. I jumped it to fun inventory process and to FF credit my back order list was all correct with only a handful of back ordered items. Fast forward a few weeks and I got the front and rear suspensions mocked up and a nice shipment of back ordered items (including the wheels). Placed an order of quite a few goodies from SnakeBite Motor works and Getting ready to move on to fuel system and brakes. Appreciate this forum and all the info shared by other builders that are a few months ahead in the same build is such valuable information (like Paul’s post on lca grease zerts and ebrake assembly)
A few questions- what instruction manual version are other coupe builders using? I recently discovered revision Z but it still doesn’t have some of the updates like the new brake design.
Does anyone have a painter recommendation for Texas (or close) that has done FF builds (preferably a coupe)? I’ve reached out to Jeff Kliener but still waiting to hear back on his availability.

I am using the "Z" version. There are multiple separate tech articles on the FF website for specific items such as e-brake, AC unit, Coyote unit, sway bars, etc. Might want to check that out for specifics if it's not in the manual. Good luck!

Yep, looking at those as well but I didn’t see the newest ebrake in that set of docs. Found it under the mk5 build manual. Speaking of ebrake just finished running mine and it appears the cables are short (1/2-3/4”) to connect to the rod end at the hand . Seem to remember Paul had a similar issue but dug up an old extension he had from previous build. Anyone run 219922running into this? I suppose a longer threaded rod end would do the trick

You can get the longer threaded rod ends from McMaster Carr.
