I'll be updating post #1 once I get everything straight in my head and figure out just how to word evething so post #1 doesn't hopefully tick anybody off, like it did in the past with a few people.

lol....had to update post #200 again. Went back and pulled up the all the different models. Aero Rods I-III are all based on the same body for the most part. So there is really only 2 base bodies including the Speedster.
Aslo when I was referring "Not sure if I really desire to work on anymore panel delivery, tudor, woody etc." in post #200. I am not referring to Panel Truck or Woody based on the 35 Hot Rod Truck, just need to make that clear

Hi David, I haven't been here in eons due to other stuff going on in my life. Still no hope of ever getting in a position where I can build a kit, but now I'm loving the 35 Truck. I noticed a few posts saying I was missed, so I thought I would touch base.
Back in 2015, I got back into Drag-Racing again. Specifically, Nostalgia AA/Gasser Racing. I posted lots of photos and this generated interest from John Foust who was building a '41 Willys in the style of "1969". I ended up designing the paint-scheme for his race-car and with his incredible painting skills it ended up getting a lot of recognition. I've pretty much been inhabiting Facebook for years and hardly used any type of Internet Forum. Doing John's design lead to me being asked by the Nostalgia AA/Gasser Club to be their Official Photographer, and I ended up doing Artwork and stuff for them. Since 2016, my Summers have been spent traveling with them to events in Canada, PA, OH and NY States. I get super close to the action with these 1000+ horsepower Alcohol-burning monsters and from my photos, I'm doing Artwork to help promote the sport.
Still dreaming of building a kit one day, but the Lottery seems to be ignoring my numbers.....LOL! I have ideas of a '35 truck built open-wheeled with a big nod in style to early Indianapolis front-engined Roadsters. Not using either the '33 or '32 grille, but a Cockshutt Tractor nose (very Track-T style) with heavily louvered hood and side panels. If you Google "Cockshutt 30" you'll see what I mean.
Great to see you're still doing design stuff to improve the looks of these already cool kits. I note that all my input idea pictures seem to have broken links. I still have the files saved if you wanted to reinstate them.

This is the direction that Factory-5 really needs to consider going next.

I agree. Admittedly I am not a future F9 customer. No disrespect. It’s just not something that interests me.
The 33 Tudor is a natural extension of the 33 family. Because to the frame geometry, a FFR Tudor would probably never be a 4 seater. More likely a 2 seater with a package porch. I still think it would be a popular build with minimal development investment.
Hopefully the F9 is a wild success and the Tudor follows.
