    No prices, not even sure they will be building it...Known as "Project Larry" within their inner circles.....Time will tell whether or not they do it......

    Int'restin' - my guess is that if they do start offering it that it will not be low buck. There looks to be some front suspension parts that for sure aren't 1-800 - ROD PART. But with that said, I do like an inboard suspension that's buried behind the radiator. I'm not sure that their way with the bell crank running off the upper control arm rather then operated by a push rod from the lower arm at the spindle is the way to go - need to look at that design.

    It is nice though

    Thanks Denny, here's a few more pics of my ride. Problem is I spent all my extra cash over the past few years on my Nova, on top of that my wife is pregnant, so another hot rod is out of the question!!! Well, atleast for a few more years.

    Whether we have a boy or girl, it will have a wrench in its hand instead of a rattle Shes due in 4 weeks, photos to follow...

    Thanks for the compliments. I am really happy with my Nova. But you know how the "hot rod disease" works...you always want more!

    IF FF5 hot rods do go into production I'm sure the price will be affordable. They sure have huge following in the Cobra replica market buy offering a pretty well engineered kit using donor parts. Most guys that have them love them.

    I went over and looked at the Chupps 3/4 hot rods, they don't take up much space, and the prices are extremely low compared to full size hot rods.
    I have even seen one with an electric powerplant.
