I kind of hope that they didn't like it. One of my goals with this car is to scare women and children, and to have Lexus drivers spill their latte.

That's freakin' cool. Of course, I skipped the others & went straight to the burnout video. Great work!

Even though I was joking, it looks like I was fairly close!

Excellent project, BTW.

Wow, I thought it was going to be a lot shorter.
Isnt the FFR like 10"?

tails8,
You going to FFRs open house? I'm a huge fan of FFR, great guys with amazing service and some pretty insane kit cars. I'm pretty impressed with the new 33.

The FFR one was a few inches shorter. I had to get it lengthened to 9 inches.

Not gonna be able to make the open house this year. Had a choice to goto that or put the $$$ to the car or take the trip. Well I chose the car..

Wow, I didnt realize it they were that short, its been a long time since I've seen one.

Wise choice. I'll take a bunch of pics this year and send them your way.
I'm lookin forward to seeing some finished 33s. They've been raving about them in quite q few KitCar Mags.
