FYI... I just ordered some faux carbon fiber badges off ebay... You can select what letter/numbers you want (two 8's and one 1 were just a few bucks).
Since I got the aero kit, and a set of carbon fiber scuff plates from Craig for the hood pins, I wanted to keep the theme going!

What were your search words for that?
"Carbon fiber badges" doesn't seem to give me what you mention.

Shipped, but haven't received them yet.
Ok these do come up on the search "carbon fiber badges".
I'll think about it, but would look nice on mine as well!

here is 2 photos. I used a S/S U-bolt in the last tube and reinforced it with a plate to the trans mounting plate. It seems to work good so far. I wrapped the tube with a high grade fuel line to black it out. I pull the car in my trailer with an electric winch.

I had a great day at the NOPI Nationals. Weather was perfect Sunday. The crowd loved the 818. I answered questions, handed out info and DVD's all day. NOPI used the car in a professional photo shoot with the NOPI girls. Can you say Wow! Honest Marsha I only looked and did not touch. LOL. I was fortunate to take first place in the Street Kit car division. Thanks to FFR, VCP, Huegenics, Forum members and my lovely wife Marsha.
Congrats Tom! Too bad there aren't any pretty girls at the NOPI events...

I read through all 11 pages and didn't find or see the details on wheels, tires, offsets. Imho your wheels fit perfectly.
Would you mind sharing the details?
+1 on the congrats, it's amazing how low the car appears, your kneeling and leaning forward and still your head is above the windshield.
thanks, plenty of info.
Way to go Tom!

Had my own Factory Five display at the Hot Rods for Heroes show today in Gainesville.FL. I handed out FFR DVD's and 818 info. Also took best paint trophy with my 33. My wife drove the 33 to the show. I might not get it back. LOL.

Nice looking collection you've got.
Can you post a picture of the fender/door/windhshield junction? My doors leave a large gap at the junction at the top just in front of the mirror.

Great looking cars Tom. Showing a buddy pictures of the 818 on the FFR site, my wife walked by and saw the 33 and said that is my next project for her.
Tom, any good pictures of your filler tube for the boyd tank? I'm trying to sort out what I'm going to do with mine.
Here is the best photos I could get with the body on. No leaks so far.

Here are two photos. I hope this helps you out.

Thanks for the pics. Mine don't look like that. I'm amazed your fender has a decent lip on the back side. I completely trimmed mine and the door still hits it when its open only about 12". The points on my hood are longer and pointier too. I also have a big open space there. I'll have to post pics later.

hi

thanks

Well I have been neglecting my 818 lately. I finally got off my duff and had it weighed. It came to 2060 with a full tank of gas in it, I am happy with that considering the radio, carpet and sound and heat material I added to the kit. Next is send off paper work to get title. This car will be for sale once the top shows up and is installed. I have to make room for my coupe build and some customer builds I have coming up. The car will be sold for 25 K firm . This is with the top and all the goodies I installed.
