    Ordered Daytona Coupe

    I placed my order December 26th, have a ship date of July - looking forward to it! Complete kit with IRS, plan to install a Blueprint 302/306 with TKX.

    Can't edit my profile for some reason - I'm in Bonney Lake, WA.

    OK, back again with an update, ordered the Coupe last year and then had to cancel because of work/life, etc. you know how it goes sometimes. Finally retired and ordered the Coupe again, but this time a Coupe-R because I plan to retire my Formula Ford and race the Coupe-R up here in the PNW with SOVREN and Conference. Completion date 7/20 - same completion date as the Cobra I ordered because my wife wanted a Cobra, so Stewart is bringing us 2 kits sometime in August I suppose. I'll finish the season in the Formula Ford (racing this weekend at Pacific if anyone is around, my car is red 44, sits next to my red Bluebird Wanderlodge, hard to miss).

    After watching some Goodwood races, Renee decided a 289 USRRC is the classic look she likes, so Dan at F5 was very accommodating and a 289 kit is what we got. Probably drop a 289 in it and would like to figure out where to get a LeMans hardtop, might have to buy one from the UK.

    The Coupe-R is getting a Ford Performance 363 from Mike Forte plus TKX, etc. The car will be strictly race, so dry-sump, no insulation and heavy emphasis on lightness (former Lotus owner). Gonna miss the formula car, but the Coupe should be fun. There was another one running in SOVREN up here last year from Montana, having seen him yet this year. Karen used to run SOVREN in her Coupe, but haven't seen her in a couple of years, I think she's running California mostly.

    Still can't edit my profile

    Like you, I too have left many competing demands that sucked up all my time and effort. Getting ready to order a Daytona Coupe but would like to put my eyes on one before pulling the trigger to move forward with the purchase. Would it be possible to view yours?
