Hello all!!!
I am currently building FFR 5715, just outside of Highland Illinois. The build has been a blast so far, but with the spring weather, I'm ready to drive this thing. I have been go-carting, and cannot wait to put the body on in the next couple of weeks. Hope to be done by the end of June!!
If anyone cruises over my way, be sure to get ahold of me, and stop my the garage for a cold one or two.
Forgot to mention, 4.6L SOHC engine with p.i. head swap, ford racing stage II cams, Power steering and brakes. This thing has been a learning experince!!!
See you on the road soon!

Welcome Craig,
Good to hear from you. Hell, you're so close to being done, I can taste it :D.
Hang in there, I can't wait to see it finished.

Craig, how bout some pics of your progress so far? Maybe you could have a build/finish it up party and we can all raid your garage to get it on the road sooner than June. :)

Here is a link to my first go-cart video.

Ignore the date, and the exhaust leak is fixed. My son came close, but I stopped him from touching the side pipes

This one is my build video to date. The first couple pictures are at the construction site of a multi-plex movie theatre I designed in Naperville, IL.
I am about ready to drop the body on, and hope to get to that on Sunday. Saturday, my wife has me scheduled to install a large wooden swingset system for our son.
If this car is half as much fun as the build, I'll be happy!
