    We've all seen Eric's work, I look forward to it! Will be interesting to see what FFR is actually giving him to start with given that the F9 isnt a kit yet.

    I'm assuming Eric won't be writing the build manual as he goes along, no time for that with the pace he keeps.

    This means great pictures and ideas, fun build updates, and then complete silence leaving us hanging and craving more a month before SEMA.
    Eric, you can't just get us addicted like that and cut off the supply so quickly!

    Can't wait to see. Judging by the speed of the progress on the GTM shouldn't be too long...

    I had the good fortune to see Erik's Black Mamba many years ago at the beginning of the Hot Rod Power Tour.

    With that said, I can't wait to see the Fabulous F9 Hyper-Car become a reality by being brought to life by Mr. Treves.

    Can’t wait to watch this build! I’m picking up my own 818S near the end of this month, but am fascinated by all things FFR.

    I know that I'm coming here "after the fact", but was there an actual build thread posted for this build? My assumption is that there was not, but wanted to ask... Just in case it's posted somewhere else.

    Thank you,
