    Born on date, Feb 9th. New Roadster owner

    Hello from Florida, have been standing on the sidelines for years thinking about building a roadster. When my 13 year sold came to me and said he wanted to build a car with me, well that was it. Did my research, and every time Factory Five came up with top marks. I haven't built a car in a long time, but I have always been involved in racing and modding my cars, after reading the excellent manual, doesn't seem like anything I haven't done before. My boy has made me promise to only work on the car with him and to let him do the work. We are going with a Coyote 5.0 and TKO 5 speed. Paid for the shipping today, kit should be ready on Feb. 9th. We can't wait to get started.

    Welcome . I am from Florida also. I am going up on 2/4/13 to pick up my 33 kit and again in August for my 818 kit. Are you having yours shipped or picking it up?
