New Member - Type 65 Coupe Build in Cypress, Texas

[Jason Cameron]

Hi there
I'm preparing my order to FFR for a Type 65 Coupe. I want to power it with an 302 or 306 wit EFI and a T56 tranny. I expect the build to take 9-12 months starting in October when the kit arrives. I will be painting it myself.
Are there an FFR owners in the Houston/ North Houston area? I have a thousand questions!
Thanks, Jason

I am in Austin and have a coupe that should be here in the next few weeks. If you haven't already, I would join the FFR Forum. Tons of information and some great build threads. Most every question has been asked and answered there as well. The build thread by EdwardB is the considered to be the bible for building a coop. There is also a great build thread on youtube.

Here are some links:
