Look of the MKIII

I was recently on the FFR site and was wondering if some of the visual issues have been taken care of (from MKII)

Is the "perky butt" still evident? And, is the gas tank still visible?

What were the major changes? (in your opinions)

F5 bought the molds and plugs for the FiA, and Slabside bodys I was working on. They are pretty acurate,at least to everyone that has come by and seen them. as for the 427, I might fix that body next, but will need some ca$h first.

Mr Bruce,

Sorry... my knowledge base in this area is very limited. What do you mean by fix the 427 body? The mold? Or are you refering to a FF5 MKIII that you purchased?

Sorry,,,

The standard MKIII still has the same 'issues' with the pointy trunk and perky butt (the butt can be fixed pretty easily). With the butt dropped the tank all but disappears.
The main MKIII changes were to slighty widen the rear fenders to fit 315s. The fender lip also was reduced a little.

Mr. Bruce that's good news. Just hope they don't sit on them instead of using them.
