LynnB from Midland, TX, here. Just checking in. Looking for a killer post-retirement project to kick off in a couple of years. Was thinking Factory 5 Racing Roadster or 33 Hotrod, but don't like the as-delivered fit/finish quality. Way too much prep and rework for my tastes. Looked at some other stuff like an SL-C, but too much money and not enough utility. I'm looking for a hi-perf daily driver, not a $100k track toy.

Saw the Gearz Banshee episodes, started Googling, and here I am. Good cloth top, good hard top, not just roll-up windows but POWER windows, big-power/small-car, great handling, near-factory reliability, outrageous sleeper...

Looks like I found my ride!

Looking forward to learning much here. Thanks for letting me in.

Welcome to the forum!

 

Wow, except for the part about Gearz, my situation exactly. I actually started mine before the Gearz thing. You won't regret it.

And welcome aboard.

Thanks, y'all. Glad to be here!

Welcome and there are plenty of resources and knowledgeable people here. Have fun with the build!

 

The Factory Five Cobra thing was me before I saw the Monster Miata article in a car mag.
Then I retired about the time of the Banchee project on Gears.
I am about 95% complete with my Ford conversion. The axles are Factory Five Cobra axles though! ;-)
Good luck, have fun with it. Remember that this is a HUGE project. Plann Plan and then execute!
