View Full Version : I'm a Coupe Owner!! Coupe #539
I've been sort of slow getting this posted over here. I'm officially the owner of a Coupe kit! I found someone that decided that a FFR Coupe build just wasn't going to work out for him, so he sold it to me. I drove to Asheboro, N.C. this past weekend to pick it up. It's now in my garage and my mind is working a million miles per hour trying to get everything planned and sorted out in my mind for this build.
Although I enjoyed building and driving the Roadster for the past few years, I'm super STOKED to now be a Coupe Builder!
I guess it was meant to be.. My Roadster is #5392 and this Coupe is #539.. How weird is that?? :D

Joe,
Raise your right hand and say after me,
"I (State your name), do swear/affirm, that upon acceptance of this "Revered Coupe Jacket", will willingly subject myself to all manner of frustration and abrasion that my FFR Type 65 will provide. I further pledge that any and all fellow Coupe builders will have free reign in using the cash available in my wallet as they see fit to improve my build plan. I will not look down upon our fellow Roadster builders, but rather take pity on those not talented enough to build a race car with a roof, So Help Me God!"
It is my pleasure to present you with the "Revered Coupe Jacket", Here's your sign!!

Is it suppose to fit this tight? Or is it a one size fits all? :)
Congrats! I'm just over in Granbury.

Hi J.C... Have we met? I know I met one Roadster owner a couple of years ago in Granbury. Did you meet me and other Texas Cobra Club members at a restaurant on the square back then, or was it someone else?
In any event, thanks!

Don't think we have met. There are a few cobras around granbury. I have yet to go to a cobra club meet. I guess I need to finish my coupe now before I can go to one now.
