Dave's Gen3 Coupe Progress

[DavidC]

For those that don't spend a lot of time on the Factory Five forums, I thought I'd share a bit on how my Coupe build is going. I received the kit near the end of June last year. I wanted to do a retirement project to try to stay busy in my early retirement. I decided to build the Coupe as a slightly modern version of the classic car. I opted for the IRS setup and a Gen4 Coyote for the drive train. I'm also taking a couple of minor departures from the standard kit with a few components, including Dakota Digital VXH-1060 gauges, Sparco racing seats, power windows, and Wilwood electric parking brake to name a few. The color theme will be a charcoal gray paint with red Wilwood calipers on the exterior and black with red accents on the interior. Since the car was delivered in June, I've fitted and drilled all the aluminum panels and had them powder coated in two different colors; a nickel gray for the engine compartment and satin black for the rest. I've completed all the suspension, steering, brakes, fuel lines, and some of the aluminum panels are installed. I'm currently working through organizing the electrical components and wiring. Here are a few progress pictures:

Nice work, Dave I particularly enjoy how you've organized the wiring harness.
