Finally did it.

[Boydster]

Hi. I'm Boyd. Been around the forums for over 2 years, have chatted with a few of you on different topics.
I'm a heavy commercial aircraft mechanic, been doing it on the line for 27 years. 5 years before that in General and Corporate Aviation.

Been a fan of F5 for many years. Have been building a spreadsheet for the last 2.5 years while saving the big bucks for a build.

Feb 1st, I decided my finances were in line and I'm at a great point in my life to do this. Placed an order for a complete MKIV.
Added on:
Powdercoat chassis
cut outs
wind wings
sun visors
wipers
floormats
Big Red Wilwoods, front & rear
Moser 8.8 rear

I had been told 4-5 weeks to build the kit. After placing the order, found out there were some openings and they bumped me up. Kit will be done on 2-11... 10 days from ordering.
Already setup with Stewart.

Just a very small piece of the huge plans I have...

427W, x head
TKO600
Full Gas-N exhaust
2x4 FiTech
17x9 & 17x10.5 AR105M Anthracite wheels with 255 & 315 NT05's.
Thats the big chunks. Lots and lots of stuff from Breeze, Fortes, some electric mods planned.

Got a Build Dolly and a Body Buck for free from grluisi150 back in September. Kinda cool that they have been used for multiple builds and the F5 pilots have been signing and dating them. Hope to be able to pass this along when I'm done with them.

Anyways, Thanks for letting me hang around the forums for so long without having an F5. Yeah, I'm excited. No, I havent slept. Yes, I'm already spending money like a Madman.

I know, no pics, didnt happen. But there's nothing to take a pic of... yet.
