I don't think they were a weasle co. They have sold a good many GTO kits from what I hear. Craftsmanship looked A+ on those kits. They need to come on with the F-body kit!!!!!!

Thanks for the update guys! I know I'm not the only one who was looking for an update. I sincerely hope that they continue and finish up their R&D and put the fbody kit into production, for this is the kit I wish to pursue!
