Picked up my 33 kit yesterday. The FFR crew couldn’t have been better. Great guys
Now comes the fun.
Will probably be a week getting organized and doing inventory.
Will post as I progress through the stages. Looking forward to input from all those with experience!

Congratulations!

Good Luck!

Moved all the boxes and fenders up to my upholstery room. Opened up some shop space.
Got the body off and hung today also…..its new home for a while
Anyone give me an idea why my pics show up sideways?
They look straight in my library

Congratulations! I agree the FFR folks are great. I had the same experience when I picked up my kit. One word of advice. Get the body seems sanded down at filled before putting the body on. You can do that outside and save a lot of clean-up of the chassis.

And also do all the trimming of the trunk opening, hinge cut outs, etc. outside. Lots of dust with fiberglass, so anything you can do outside to keep the dust out of your work area will help a ton.
And not to sound like my Mom, but wear a mask, you don't want fiberglass dust in your lungs. :o
