    Coupe Ordered!

    Well the fall sale was just to good to pass up and got me moving. Ordered my Coupe this pass Thursday. Completion date is set for 1/26/19.

    Planning to build it with my father and it be a mix track/street car.

    Can't wait to start wrenching on it!

    Going to go with a 427W stroker with a T56. IRS, S550 14" front brakes, S550 rear brakes.

    The build is going to be very striped down. Couple race seats and belts at first. Plan to track it here in the Midwest. I am located in the metro Detroit area.

    Going to do something a little different on the colors and going to go with Avalanche Grey with blue stripes.

    Hello from the West Side. Congrats on your order and upcoming delivery.

    I'm building a streetable track based Challenge Car. A friend down the road is building a Gen 3 Coupe. Both are aluminum 427s, IRS and non-standard builds.

    Enjoy your build, we are.

    Do you sell the adapter plates for the S550 brake upgrade?

    If you are in Detroit I highly recommend you check out EdwardBs build. Paul is a great ambassador to the FFR build hobby and is currently doing a Gen 3 coupe.
