    Hi Paul, I wandered over here from the GTM/818 builds I normally keep tabs on and came across your build thread. Just wanted to say that your paint job is absolutely stunning. That red really, really pops. Can’t wait to see the finished product!

    Thanks Kevin. Good to hear from you. I certainly remember the color of your Roadster. But didn't remember it didn't have stripes. Cool!

    Wet Sanding / Polish Happening

    Can't have too many pictures, right? Wet sending and final polish happening. Color looks even better out of the booth as expected. Maybe home this week??? Hope so.

    The next obvious question is what's next for the incomparable EdwardB? I mean after you take all your victory laps, awards at multiple shows, etc. Is Mrs. EdwardB going to give you the nod to do yet another one or do you have other plans to fill your time? Whatever you do, I am quite sure you will exceed all expectations. May whatever it turns out to be be a joy for you! All my best!

    Thanks for the generous comments. Our plan is to drive both the Roadster and the Coupe next season and get our impressions of each. Plus several projects here around the house I need to spend some time on. Some finishing in the basement, new siding on the garden shed, the usual glamorous projects. As for another build, we don't have room or a reason to add another to the garage. So a decision would be necessary before starting a new build. Planning to attend the 25th Anniversary Open House next summer at Factory Five and might just sneak a peak at the new super car they've been talking about. We'll see what happens from there. But for now, need to push this one across the finish line. So back to the current build.

    Doesn't look like I'll get the Coupe back in my garage workshop this week. But as of today, promised for early next week. Final wet sand and polish is happening on the main body parts. Then a couple small parts to finish up (spoiler, mirrors, engine cover) then it's mine. Not anxious or anything. For those that haven't seen the process in detail, it's pretty crazy.

    Base coat and clear in the booth (picture posted previously). This is where most production cars stop. If done properly, of course can be very nice. But the next steps take it to the next level that most of us are going for and typical for these builds:



    Wet sanded with progressively finer paper until dead flat. A messy process:



    Wet sanding done. A little scary looking, unless you're going for the flat or satin look, which I'm not:



    Then polished, typically with three different grades of pads and compounds. Repeat all over until done.

    Coming Home Soon

    Visited the shop today. Getting close now. They said should be ready for pickup on Wednesday. Main body polish is done with just minor clean-up remaining. Nose piece and doors also getting final details. Mirrors and spoiler are painted just need polishing. Engine cover was being painted when I was there. These pictures aren't a lot different than ones posted previously, but here they are FWIW. Pretty sure I like it.

    Paul-

    I go out of town for a little bit, come home and look what I missed! WOW, just WOW!! She looks beautiful, and such a great color choice. I Also like the treatment on the rear of the car; I like stripes in general, but I like how this works!

    Thanks as always for sharing your progress, and good luck wrapping things up! I know you are looking forward to getting things finished, but I have to confess... so am I!

    Awesome job!!

    Regards,

    Steve

    Paint Done. It’s Home!

    Drove to the shop today and brought the Coupe home. First time out for the new SE and worked great. The Coupe actually fits. Snowing off and on, and the coldest day of the year so far with the wind chill. But we got it done. Huge thanks to my friend Greg for keeping me company and lending a hand. The Coyote started right up after sitting there for two months (big surprise) and had no issues driving it in and back out of the trailer. Needless to say, I’m really pleased with the paint. Should be since a Coupe isn’t cheap to paint as I’ve now found out. Especially to this level. But it’s done and that’s behind me. It’s a little dusty but not terrible. Tomorrow will get it up on the lift, cleaned up a bit, and start final assembly. Need to get it far enough along to take some decent pictures for my Autorama submission. Then completely done by the end of February for the show. After that, will start the title and registration process so it’s ready to drive by spring.

    First couple pictures are at the shop. Bolted on the prototype side pipes back and put the nose back on. First time it had been together since early body work. Drew its first crowd. Looks amazing. Leaving the doors off until the interior is done. Way easier to work on plus helps prevents any damage.





    Couple hours later, unloaded and safely back in the home shop. The sun was shining a bit when we loaded it onto the trailer. The color looks a little brighter and really pops in the sun. These pictures in general are a bit darker than it looks in natural light and especially in the sun. But you get the idea. The engine cover turned out great and does the best it can to clean up that busy Gen 3 Coyote engine compartment.









    Tomorrow will start digging in.

    I would be curious to hear your thoughts on the Coupe vs Roadster build when it's all done.
    And your thoughts, maybe after the summer driving season, on your likes/dislikes about each one or which keys you reach for the most.

    Looking great. I like the half white on the back, I toyed with doing silver but in the end decided not to. I might have missed it but what is the color?? It is hard to tell for sure on a computer but it looks close to mine, a little lighter red I think.

    Thanks for all the encouraging comments guys. It really is a relief getting the Coupe home. I don't know why, but I stress too much when it's at the paint shop. Worried I guess about how it's going to turn out, will I like it, how much longer will it take, miss working on it, etc. It was a couple days over two months, almost exactly what they promised. I don't how some of you wait the durations I hear about sometimes. But all that's behind me now. So starting to dig in for the final steps.

    The color is Ford Red Candy 2, code RZ, which is technically a tri-coat. It's the same color I requested for my current Roadster, painted by the same shop. For the Roadster, they were using Standox paints and applied as a tri-coat. For the Coupe, now several years later, the shop has switched over to Sikkens for all their paint work. Their Sikkens dealer mixed the color as a standard base coat/clear coat. Saved some money for both material and application, and far easier to touch up. Sitting next to the Roadster now, they're very close. Of course both pop quite a bit more in natural light and especially in bright sunlight.

    I would be curious to hear your thoughts on the Coupe vs Roadster build when it's all done.
    And your thoughts, maybe after the summer driving season, on your likes/dislikes about each one or which keys you reach for the most.
    Have some pretty clear thoughts about the build at this point. It's been a fun build, but a bit challenging in a couple ways. Mostly just getting the body to fit the way I wanted plus I've found it's much more expensive to paint. I pushed things a bit being early with the Gen 3 Coyote. The Coupe does have a little more complication with heat and A/C (almost mandatory IMO) plus the interior is more complicated than the Roadster, which I didn't make any easier by doing a bunch of custom stuff. But for the most part, the chassis, suspension, sheet metal, etc. is very similar to the work on the Roadster. In the end, don't regret a single decision I made and don't know that it's any harder to build than a Roadster. But I would definitely say it's somewhat more complicated and also requires a bigger budget.

    As for comparison driving, yeah that will wait until next season. I'm expecting it to be very similar to our Roadster since many of the components are the same with the same options (Coyote, IRS, Wilwood, etc.). But with a bit more creature comforts being enclosed. Will report back when the time comes.

    Hey Scott. Unless something changes that I'm sure not expecting, bringing the Coupe to London this year. For the past two years, I've been asked a bunch of times "Where's the Coupe?" Kept promising it for 2020, and plan to make good on that.

    We're looking forward to seeing it in person in London, if not before at a club event. I'll put money on the fact that your coupe will be next to the FFR trailer. Time will tell who gets their roadster to share the display with you. Be careful during final assembly. No scratches allowed.
