I have a 3.1 Roadster, but it has been finished for a few years, and I am getting bored.

Started my GTM 11 years ago.
Finished not that long ago...
Might need to start another project! Love the look of this thing!
I had been looking for a new project, I think this will be it. This will be a great truck to drive as I get older seems like you can get in and out easy. My cobra got hit in the rear this summer fixing it now.
I'm looking at doing a build in the near future and hadn't seen this kit until I recently revisited this site. Pretty cool looking truck. Look forward to following builds.
I just saw an ad in the current issue of Hot Rod Mag. for the pickup. It listed the complete kit price as $21,990. Has there been a $2000 price increase since we pre-ordered?

Has anyone heard if p/w are going to be offered? My guess is they are still working on that since the SEMA truck had no side windows.
Power windows will be standard is my understanding.

Just got off the phone with Tony at FFR. You are correct. P/W will be standard. I modified my order some.
I deleted the Wilwood's, fenders and 4-link.
I added 3-link, 11.65 rear brakes.
I am going with 5.0, AOD with 3000 stall converter and 3.27 8.8 posi rear.
I want to have a more Hot Rod look and the full fenders do not work for what I am looking for. My paint guy and I am working on a paint scheme the reverse of what my 33 was when I built it. Here is a rough drawing of what we are thinking of doing. Satin black and Blue like my 33.

Mine will be full fenders heat and A/C, 3 link. Not sure on the drivetrain.
I feel like I have to do a Coyote..... but....... I am actually thinking something else....

Christmas came early for me. About a week ago, Marsha my wife said why don't you order all the stuff you need for your 35? I said twist my arm, LOL. Was able to get free shipping on all of it. As soon as I am done with my customer 33 I will start on the drive train rebuild for the 35.

Love those big wide torque thrust style wheels! Just what I was thinking.
Are there any pictures available of what the truck will look like with hood, side panels, and fenders. They must be different from the Hot Rod, but it is hard to commit to something without seeing it. I have pre-ordered, but need to see more before signing on the dotted line. I know Barrett-Jackson and other shows are taking up the staff time, but if I order, I need it fairly quickly. I am bored and don't want to be forced to go commit to other projects.
There are no pictures of the truck, with Fenders, hood and running boards yet.
I am sure when its time and they are ready FFR will "leak" some photos. :-)
I think you will be very pleased.
They are very different than the hot rod, the shape, and details are specific to the hot rod pickup.

I see that FFR will be at the Grand National Roadster Show again this year. I'm excited to see the 35 truck there. They had the steel bodied 33 there last year, should be a great show.
Unfortunately I don't have a good picture of the significance of the left side starter issue. If you are trying to keep the engine set back AND the oil pan off the tarmac AND run a manual
Mopar you lose a little room for the right foot. Don't even bother with the mechanical clutch arm. Pic is 143 tooth truck bell.

BTW Dale, real hemis don't need their name on the valve cover to know they're a Hemi, even if they are a baby Hemi
Can't help but thinking that this truck needs a 3-4" chop. It just the rebel in me.
Scary, I was thinking that too, but I'll go with the Humpback panel version just to get room for a 70's style van mural, Maybe in avocado gold with a puke green pinstripe. Hmmm... If I flare the panel body out I can hide bigger tires. If I could just find that old Vista Cruiser skylight...
The more I look at the FFR pictures, 1 to 1.5" would help. 3-4" chop would be radical, but would look very cool! Would have to really squat down to not hit the roof....rofl
erlihemi I already have a panel (not the one already posted) and a humpback version started for the 33, sure it wouldn't be hard to convert to the '35 truck. The Design doesn't have double doors, instead it has a hatch and tailgate to sit on.

Anybody have a side pic of the frame ? without the body on it ?
