Welcome! I used to live in West Chester too, right off of 3 and 352 while I worked in Philadelphia.
If you do find yourself getting the Roadster, I'm sure you'll enjoy the open top on the roads to the north! Have fun!

Good idea having the traveling builder check it out with you. He knows everything to check and where common problems are. He could also give you an estimate of what it would take to sort out if anything needs a hand. I hope the car is everything you expect and in your garage soon.
I live in Camp Hill and have worked with Mark several times. He is a straight shooter and will be a great help with your purchase. I have family in WC and Downingtown. Maybe we can meet someday. Good luck!

thanks, yes Monday 7/2 is the big day meeting Mark and going over the car, if all goes well I'll make them an offer. Jim, if all goes well maybe a gtg in West Chester pa
Good luck. I have been to some car shows in the area. I will PM you if I plan to attend any soon. I know another FFR roadster owner near exton. Maybe we can have a Cobra get together.

well, I pick up the car this coming Friday from Mark aka The Traveling builder, he had a checklist of things he did to get the car just right. I can't wait to cruise it down to ocean city md
Mark aligned the body panels better and took care of some minor mechanical stuff

Congrats on the car. Definitely a "stunner". Your about 45 minutes down the road from my location. Us PA guys should have a get together.
