Let's make it three. Hello from Graham, Wa.

[racyroy]

Hello to you all in the FFR family, my name is Kevin and as of Monday I took the plunge into the world of Factory Five Racing. I’ve had FFR on my mind for the last 6 years, the 33 Hotrod to be specific. Being not quite ready to make the leap financially nor having a viable place to build one I waited, I even had a FFR sticker on my tv in the corner so I’d always be reminded. Well the day has come.

About me? I’ve been in the Great Northwest for going on 33 years. I served my country and am now employed at a company dealing in big yellow machines. I’m married with three kids, all either married or getting there. Two grandchildren to spoil also. I’ve been a mechanic for 40 years in one shape or another. My hobbies have been many, usually centered around something mechanical, fast and or loud. I’ve now narrowed it down to just fast and loud (drag racing). Since I finished doing to my car what I wanted it was time to move on.

Like I said earlier I plan on building the 33 hotrod with a 383 stroker. I’m going to try to keep it on a budget but we all know how that goes. I think I made up my mind on what I wanted about 30 times. Since I just signed up it sounds like I won’t be seeing anything until late august early September at the earliest. So until then I’ll be lurking in the shadows reading all of your posts and taking notes.

Thanks for reading and have a day of your choosing.


Respectfully

Kevin

Wow, welcome. That’s Awesome, three new FFR builds all in the same small area announced within a few weeks. (Both of us and Qballz.). Looking forward to being able to share ideas and a helping hand if needed.

Hello Barwickad. yea I thought is was nice to see even two in the same area let alone three. I do definitely look forward to checking out the builds in the Neighborhood. and YES helping where needed. The more i learn now will make my build easier.

Wow, I'm also surprised by three builds in our area. Welcome aboard!

Welcome Kevin. Keep reading the build posts....and drooling.
Only a little more painting to do and then it will be ready to get registered.
I didn’t say done as they are never really finished.

Welcome Kevin, I’m in Spanaway built my roadster in 17-18. There are quit a few FFR guys in the area. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions. Might be a different build, but some things may are the same. I served in the Army as a mechanic also, still work as a contractor on JBLM.
