Hi Cory,

I bought Chuck's complete Daytona drawings sets plus the 289 cast parts set. I'm starting my project of scratch building a Daytona Coupe. The plans are plans and appears very good, but they are not instructions and require you to connect the dots. That's fine with me as I enjoy the fabrication side of things. In this particular case I will need to acquire new skills to fabricate the body, but that's what I want.

I'm more of a builder than a driver, so for me building a chassis from scratch is more interesting for me than buying one. from the looks of it, equipment, experience and space is not an issue for you.

I expect to do 700 to 1000 hrs a year on the coupe, I know it wont be done in two years, but I'm confident that with the drawings and this forum it will get done. I'll start a build tread in the scratch built section of the forum in a couple of weeks.

Cheers,
Fred
