Hello fellow members!

Despite my failing health and lack of funds currently, I still have dreams. A kit car has ALWAYS been one of my dreams. Sadly the company that made my favorite kit car of all times has folded However, after digging around, I found that Factory Five Racing is still alive & kicking!

The original FFR Roadster kit always spoke to me as it was literally a "Donor + Kit = Car" experience. It's still favorite with the newer 33 Hot Rod coming in as a close second. If I were to do this someday (I sincerely hope to), I'd approach it like the original concept. I'd buy a donor (or source parts) and build a basic kit.

My goal would be similar in spirit to my favorite car I've ever owned - a 1965 Triumph Spitfire. It won't be a show car, it'll be a back-road weekend driver.

A little background on me, I'm an ex-mechanic, cars have been a hobby my whole life. In my later years I got into computers so my mechanic skills are a bit rusty.
