Some assmebly required

Yes! The truck from Stewart Transport showed up with a whole bunch of parts. 
Day 1... Awesome, I am going to build a FFR.
Day 2... What the f--- was I thinking?
Day 3... Rear differential showed up from FED EX.

In looking at the pictures taken while unloading the truck I realized how much of my hair has migrated permanently, well elsewhere.  So I realized I need to embark upon:
OPERATION GROW OLD-MAN SKINNY RAT TAIL.  You know, those hideous rat tails some middle age men grow right below their bald spot to indicate to everyone THEY ARE NOT OLD! 
This weekend I will arrange the parts into a meaningful pile I can actually inventory, move the body onto the body buck (currently being used to hold boxes full of parts), and right after reality has left the building I will paint the rear diff as it comes unpainted.  This week is mostly spent reviewing other blogs trying to figure out the points I will have difficulty with.  Given I've already suspended reality to start the project it is indeed a little late to wonder what I could have done better.

Garage is ready for the Type 65 kit

First post for the build of a FFR Type 65 Coupe.  The garage is ready and the truck is supposed to show up this Tuesday.  More to come when the kit shows up.  Basic rules.  I will keep this relatively up to date and will often infuse with thoughts on other topics.  Comments will largely be ignored.  Clearly I am supported by nobody for this build, and am supporting nobody else either.  The words here are my own.
