Looks Like I'll Be Ordering A Kit Real Soon!!

I came upon a windfall of $13,630 today. As soon as I get the money, I'll be ordering my kit and having it sent to Bruce in PA for conversion to a 289 FIA.

Yippeeee!!!

Yippeeee!!!
At a time where I am in liquidation mode (see thread in the Clubhouse) I have to say I am extremely jealous. Wish I too could be building my FFR FIA (I have not even bothered Dave in almost a year), can't wait to see your build thread start up as I know you have some fantastic ideas. Wish you the very best with it.


Sincerely,

Bill S.
