We had signed up for a 3 day build school, Fri, Sat and Sun, at Mott Mott Community College in Howell, MI. This is not run by Factory Five but they supply the kit to them and approve of it. They have a course for both the Cobra and the 33.
We flew into Detroit, had our bullet prove vests on : ) , and rented a car and drove about 1 hours N/W to Howell. It is very pretty country there.
There were 14 folks in total signed up for the coarse plus two instructors. It was a very interesting course that went from 8 to 5 each day. We learned quite a few nuances about the 33. We started with a bare bones frame and at the end of three days we had assembled a running 33 Hot Rod however not show ready but running : )
I felt the course gave Steve and me some great heads up on things we need to watch for in our build.
On Sunday after class was finished Steve and I drove about 45 minutes away to Commerce Township where my aunt and uncle Don & Bev Taylor live and they fed us a great dinner and took us out for boat ride on their lake. It was great for me to have a chance to visit with them, we don't see them that often.
Here are some photos of our time there plus a final video of our work.
