Well, the shop is starting to come alive….My MK4 (Cobra Kit) arrived yesterday from Factory Five.
Easy unload of the body/chassis and about 20 boxes of parts.
Spent day 1 marking the panels for location and to note which panel was on top of what panel, marked the blind sides of the panels with sharpie, then removed all of them.
Looking forward to the build.
Furniture and my Vision Racing seat are in, and someday I’ll see my BendPak HD-9XW. I’ll post more pics next week, but here are a few from day 1 of the FFR build.

Yeah, should keep me busy for a while 
I think some folks take the 'condo' part literally.
It's not perfect for everyone, and everyone has their own unique taste, so I don't take it personally.
Will do on the pics, thanks!
Amazing that so many of the comments on the site below the pics talk about no bedroom, no this, no that, too sterile, couldn't live there. They clearly can't read and are used to only picture books. They didn't pick up on the man cave/workspace purpose and for some reason think it's supposed to be a residential condo.
Oh well - good thing they don't hang on the SIX.
Congrats again on an amazing project. Keep us updated with pics and projects.

Chris,
New FFR looks good. I might be dropping by and knock on the door this weekend. I did buy the unit across from you and should start the build in the next week. If you have any questions or need tools (have a bunch of Clecos you can use) let me know.

Thanks guys!
We're very glad to have you as our neighbor Steve.
I'll have lot's of questions - prepare yourself
Likewise, LMK if I can assist with any of your build stuff or if you want take a closer look at anything we've done. You're in good hands - Tim's a great guy to work with!
I'll be around Sunday < 3pm - swing by if you want to check the MK4 out.

You get engaged yet? If not, thanks - you've exceeded my previous record as the guy with the longest non-marital relationship
Just messin' with ya.
