A few weeks ago I put the word out that I was looking for an unfinished Factory Five Racing 33 Hot Rod kit. I got 3 responses, a Gen 2 Stage 1 kit in Missouri, A Gen 1 Stage 1 kit in the Carolinas and a Gen 2 Stage 2 kit in New Hampshire. The guy in Missouri turned out to be a complete flake, the one in the Carolinas was nice but a Gen 1, I really wanted a Gen 2. After a few e-mails and phone calls I made an offer on the one in New Hampshire and we made a deal. I offered to send a deposit and was told that wasn't necessary. He agreed to hold the car until Thanksgiving weekend and if I didn't show up he would move on to the next guy. Made me a little nervous only having a verbal agreement but he was a man of his word. Since I was driving to New Jersey to spend Thanksgiving with my daughter, a quick trip to New Hampshire would work out perfectly. I made the 14 hour round trip yesterday and picked it up.
Basic info, Build #1115
383 SBC Stroker rated at 425hp, 700r4, 8.8 rear w/3:73 gears. The engine is a new build off of E-bay and has never been run, never fired. The Trans is new from Patriot trans. As you can see, there has been a bunch of assembly but, I'm going to blow it all apart and do it my way .. lol
