Day 3 of Build School

Three days, 15 guys, 2 great instructors, and a Factory Five Roadster, the experience was priceless.

Day 3 started with a discussion on finishing the body and paint, followed by the installation of the lights and other body fittings. Next we assembled and installed the dash, parking brake, remaining sheet metal, seatbelts, and bulb seal. The body was then mounted back on the frame as we began the home stretch of this build.

Starting with the windshield, this and the doors were installed together with a discussion on mounting the hood. Although this was the end of our build the remaining inner wheel well sheet metal parts were offer up as was the shark gills for discussion on fitting.

With the wheels popped back on, steering wheel and gear lever fitted she was ready to be let loose. Jim, our instructor, as you can see from the video had more faith in our workmanship then we had.
