build a Factory Five Roadster.
I am not a "motor head" but I enjoy working with my hands. I have never taken
on a project of this size before but once when I was a teenager I replaced the
piston rings on my Honda 90 motorcycle. My dad taught me about cars back
when you tune a car by listening to the engine as you rotated the distributor.
I have your average set of tools that I have collected over the years. I will
mention tools I had to go buy or rent as I go along.
I am attempting this project in a two car garage. I wish I had a bigger place but
Santa was all out of 4 car garages this past year.
I know many of you may like to build one of these cars for racing but not me. I am
building this car just to cruise around it. However there may be an occasional
need for speed. If you are interested in racing then you probably won't make
some of the decisions I make along the way.
If you want to see what it takes, follow along. I'll try to keep you up to date as
the project progresses.
