I am a beta builder for Factory Five Racing and am currently building S/N 0002 (Dave Smith has 0001) Generation III Coupe. I thought I would post my progress here. The car is currently a roller and I plan on installing the engine this weekend once I get the powder coated foot box panels back. My build plan is a stock 2015 Ford Coyote motor with a Tremec TKO600 5 speed tranny and the 2015 Mustang IRS. Not sure of the final color but I am planning on taking it to the London Cobra Show in late June. I have to get cracking!!! I'll post some pictures once I figure out how to post them.

Thx,

Henry

Wimbelton White with a Blue stripe,that color can vary for visiual effects or an Orange stripe. I assembled a Unique 427 car last year blue w/a white stripe that looked kinda Ivory.

Finished the fuel system today and ran the rear brake lines to the front. Did not hook up to master yet because the pedal box needs to come out one more time. Also put the air filter system on and the pax header. Alternator needs to come off to put on drivers header.

Thx,

Sorry it's been so long since an update. I am working the wiring now. Computer is set as well as Coyote and Ron Francis fuse boxes. Also have P/S pump and AC compressor mounted. Reservoirs mounted and steering shaft mounted.
