            The founder of ff.com. Someone(V8festiva) maybe dean has a pic of it. It was bad a**. Huge tubs and all. Not to practical tho. Never can get something this short or tall to go in a straight line.

              right, i assumed they were RWD with v-8s.....man, it would have an awful narrow 9" rear axle under it...with some big fattys back there....hmmm lest see...seat would be back in rear seat area...somewhat....i think it would make a pretty cool drag car...

                yeah, that was also my thought too...tough to get the small wheelbase cars to go straight..
