Hi, my name is Sean, I live in the Phoenix area, and I took over a build on a gen 1 type 65. I’m getting excited because it’s almost ready for paint.8B2D28C5-6FBB-4956-9A2A-C99F8DEE89D7.jpg8C0F1199-E5CE-4C54-B81F-8C478070AF4F.jpg

Welcome! Wow you even got plates on it already -- you must be close to being finished (however, they''re never done). Time to get excited. What color are you going with? I think I'll open an adult beverage and toast your good fortune. Just happen to have one right here.

Hey Seanjet, Welcome!!! I believe I saw your car at this past Saturday's Scottsdale Cars & Coffee. Can't be two primer gray Gen1/2 FFR Type 65 Daytona Coupes in the Phoenix area.
I'm located in Scottsdale. I received my Gen 3 Coupe full kit this past September and though the calendar says I'm approaching 6 months, with my being away many weeks in November and December, I'm more like just four months into the build. I've set up a build thread, but really haven't added much to it since shortly after receiving the kit. I'm pretty much following EdwardB's Gen 3 build and except for different engine (Gen 2 Coyote for me and Gen 3 Coyote for EdwardB) and different brakes, much so far is the same. As I get to my own customizations, I'll probably start to add build thread content.
Yeah, what color???
Bob

Welcome. I just bought a 70% finished roadster. I’m in Chandler as well. Let me know if you need help one day!!
I'm in Maricopa, too. Welcome to the party.
Thinking HotRod red with white racing stripes. Think I’ll join you in a drink. Lol
Thanks, you as well. Always nice to talk to others and get fresh ideas.
Yes, that was mine, I heard there was someone in Scottsdale building one. Would love to get together and chat.
Seanjet, Great, that was your Daytona. Sure, lets get together. I'll send you a PM.
