Why so relatively few build logs on here?
With over 8000+ Factory Five roadsters made and thousands of other brands having been built and certainly more to come, I ask the question as to why there are comparatively so few owner build logs posted here on the forum?
Disappointing to see that this section gets updated only so rarely with very few new builds showing up. C'mon people....let's see what you are building!

Try scratch builder forum.
Also guess most guys buy versus build.
That is sometimes the best way.
Thinking after 289 #2 I may do a FFR.

My build log is in the build log page but almost all of the other Australian builds are in the Australian Cobra Club area. Probably the same with some of the other clubs or manufacturer based pages, so if you don't visit those pages then you don't know about those builds.
I do however agree - there are far fewer lengthy and descriptive build logs being posted now. Please - if you're doing one, post it because we all want to see what's going on and how you're doing it and what ideas we might be able to pick up.
Cheers,
Glen

I would think most build logs are located on the manufacturers website (there are 2 for FFR cars).
I enjoy this site but consider it more generic and relevant to the originals.

Try FFRcars, and I think there's also another site that will have more build sites.

I am rebuildin a johnex slab side and just find it a pain to post pictures off my phone. I am sure my wife has better stuff to do then up load them lol. I have noticed my pic's look like I am stuck at the same spot for a while then boom progress. And who wants to see 6 pic's of building a better hood hindges. All of us have different ideas and cash flow want a different look ect and there are some hurt full things said. My idea of right and your's can vary greatly. That being said it's a great form and thanks to those who keep it going . I sure like steeling all the good ideas to make my car better.

I kept up my build log on the ERA sub-forum just to make it more visible to ERA owners who could weigh in on questions and offer suggestions. Not sure that was the best approach but I think many others do this also.

ffcars.com (note, not ffrcars)
Also thefactoryfiveforum.com
Plenty of FFR build logs on each.
