Thanks for the help last night Stack. Helping with the inventory gives me more confidence moving forward. I should be able to finish my inventory this weekend and start with moving the body and removing the panels on the chassis.
Completed the safety wiring for the Wildwood brakes yesterday. Started drilling aluminum panels. Trunk is all drilled and clekoed in. F panels will be next.
Welcome and congrats. Roger
Almost done with the aluminum panels. 5 more panels to be fit and drilled then everything off to be powder coated.

Picked up Powder coated panels this week and they look great.
Installed front end steering and brakes with the help of Stack. Thanks buddy.
Also installed rear end and got rear two tires delivered yesterday. Waiting for the front tires from Summit. Then will have them mounted.
Making good progress.
Ron, you might want to open a new thread in the "Build Threads". It will get quite a bit more attention and comments over there vs Intros.

That sounds like a good idea to move to build threads.

Im a FACTORY FIVE OWNER. SOOO Ready for stage 1. One at a time for my busy schedule. Should get delivery in 5 more weeks. My name is Scott and I have been researching Factory Five and BluePrint engines for many months. Now my budget is tight so I will start with stage 1, then motor hopefully from Blueprint engines and off to stage 2. One thing about all this is I LOVE this forum. Lots of great people who know and have built the 33 in this forum and Im excited to be a part of it. Im not sure how to navigate to well but I will figure it out.
Welcome & congrats. We will be happy to help you make plans and spend your money.All the guys here helped me with both. Roger
Dave, can you move this thread to the "build threads forum please?
Thanks
Have not updated in a while but will be doing my first engine start in a couple of days.
Coyote fills the engine compartment to the max and had a dickens of a time installing the drivers side header but finally got it.
Welcome to the forum. Roger
Thanks for moving this thread David.
