New - Austin, Texas
Greetings All,
Name is Rob and I live on the north side of Austin, Texas. Looking to build a '65 Coupe.
I work in IT, however I have a Mechanical Engineering / Automotive Engineering background.
Is there anyone near Austin that has a '65 Coupe that I can take a look at ?
Looking forward to building this project.
Rob

Hey Rob.
Ya we can set up a a time for you to come by and look at my Coupe. I did get your email back to me, but saw you posted here so i thought i would respond here.
Car is almost complete. just waiting for the motor and transmission and some wiring to do in the engine compartment.

Welcome Rob! I'm in Manor with a hot rod, so if you ever need to see another FFR or chat about it, ping me. Quite a few FFR around Austin!

Doug,
I really appreciate that. Would sometime on Sunday work for you ?
Thanks

James,
I would really like to take a look. The more I learn about FFR kits the easier the build will be.
I am near I-35 and Parmer so Manor is about 10 miles.
How does an evening after work next week sound ?
Thanks
