Hello FactoryFiveForum --
1st time poster here.
I have been thinking about building a Roadster for a long time. At 68 years old, hopefully there is still time. I started tinkering with cars in my teens. Had a muscle car in the 60s. Got drafted in the Army, and they made me a mechanic. Kept doing my own car work when I got out, and then started working on old motorcycles. Been doing that ever since.
So, back to the Roadster. I plan on taking the build course in Howell, MI. It makes a lot of sense to me to see what I'm getting into. It's also only 10 miles from where I live. Thoughts on the Roadster are: Complete kit, turnkey 302 or 351W, T5, 8.8 posi-trac w/3.55 gears & undecided on the 15" or 17" Halibrand replicas.
I'm open to any suggestions/tips on any of this.
Regards, Rod Dittmar (aka RdstrRod)
