Looking to Connect with Local Factory Five Builders in Northern Virginia

[aganjoo]

Hi everyone,

I'm about to embark on an exciting journey of building my own Factory Five Roadster MK4 and am looking to connect with any local builders in the Northern Virginia area. I live close to Dulles Airport in Chantilly and would love to chat with someone who has gone through the process before.

It would be great to hear your insights, tips, and maybe even check out a finished build if you're open to it. I'm placing my kit order this week, so any advice before I dive in would be greatly appreciated!

I have build an experimental aircraft previously but this will be my first automotive build. Looking forward to connecting with fellow enthusiasts in the area.

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Amit Ganjoo

Hi Amit,

Welcome to the community! There are a number of us in Northern VA, but I only know a couple personally. I live a bit south of George Mason University in Fairfax Station. Send me a PM and I'll be glad to drive my car over and chat.

Also, check out http://www.capitalareacobraclub.com/...php?whats-new/. They sponsor a New Year's Day cruise that's pretty fun. The year I went we had probably 40 cars!

All, thanks for the replies and my apologies for the delayed acknowledgement. I have been on travel since last week. I will action all the suggestions above slowly but steadily ;o)
