The car is being prepared to full race spec, but will be street legal as well. Targeted completion date is April 30, 2017. We began the build last Friday (2/3) at Dave Pohli's shop in New Holland, OH.
I'll post photos when I get back to California, but have already added photos and video updates from last weekend's build on my Facebook page. This is my 5th Coupe (yes, I'm Coupe crazy), and to say I'm excited would be an understatement. Over the years, the Factory Five community has become an extended family to me, and I owe a debt of gratitude to all of the great folks who have been helped me along the way. Hank Lopez (Hankl, keeper of the coveted jackets here on the forum), and the small but mighty group of Coupe lovers/builders here, are keepers of the flame when it comes to the heritage of this car, and I am humbled to be even a small part of this amazing community!
