After planning to build a 33 for years, I was planning on going over to F5 during a business trip in a couple of months and ordering the complete kit. I needed that time to clean out enough space in the garage to build it. But things happen for a purpose I guess and last month I came upon a Craig's list add for a partially completed 33 for sale in Daytona Beach. When I called about the add, the cost for the car with a 302, T5, 4:11 posi rear and new wheels and tires was a little less than the kit with options alone! Hard to pass up so I immediately started looking for a place to build it (garage is no where near being cleaned out).
Well I couldn't find a location so I was about to pass on the purchase, when the shop that was building the car for the owner texted me a price reduction! Two days later, I bought the car and contracted with the shop that started the build to finish it in 28 days.
So now with 11 days left on the scheduled build, I am sitting here with mixed emotions, sadness that I won't get to build it myself and excitement that I will have it about 1 1/2 years earlier than if I built it myself.2700427005270062700727008
The first 2 images are the car as I bought it. The next 3 are 2 weeks into the 28 day completion period.
