    Where are the Kansas City Builders?

    There are several of us that are active on the forum:

    TrackDay17 (Greg): MkV Inbound
    kirby (Don): MkIV ready for paint
    JMD (John): MkIV ready for paint
    gbranham (me, Greg): MkIV ready for paint

    Are there any other builders on the forum? I'm speaking for our little group...we'd love to connect with anyone else in the process, or even folks who are done and on the road

    Built an early MkIII years ago, sold years ago. Back after 18 years to build a MkIV

    KC builders

    GREG
    I'm building a 33 in Shawnee and I have family in Tongie so I'm familiar with that area.
    Mine has been a long journey but I am still enjoying it when I have time to work on it.
    Part of the timeframe is that I went full custom with a 7L STROKER Hemi a 47re and a
    lot of chassis changes for ride height, wheelbase, replaceable components and BIG rear
    tires on a full fender car. I also bought land and cleared it and built a new shop with a
    house attached to it and I had some big health issues during that time. I'm back on the
    coupe and race season at Lakeside is almost over so I will have more free time soon.
    You can find some of my pictures and posts on here and on the FF forum as Buck70

    Enjoy the build and post your progress

    Cool! We're neighbors. TrackDay17 (also a Greg) lives in Shawnee. His MkV will be delivered next month. We get together for breakfast from time to time. We're due for a Saturday or Sunday breakfast. Maybe we can meet at Pegah's!

    I've received conditional executive approval for a fall purchase of a 65 as long as I complete a handful of other projects. I live in central OP off Antioch. Would be happy to meet for breakfast or beers most any time.

    Sorry for the slow response.
    Busy time of year with the holidays then getting ready for racing season at Lakeside.
    A meet up with the KC area gang would be fun, I,m open for a breakfast or BBQ at
    Rosedale for lunch sometime. I think there's a new Cobra builder in west Shawnee too
    so loop them in here if you know him
