Never seen this replica before - one of the few with real F40 dimensions - except for roof line

^ Stretched dimensions, as in one of the 3 that were from Wolfgang? Or is this a different one than he knows?

When he mentioned "stretch," that immediately should throw a red flag with F40 replicas, even if the ad does sound serious. There is only one stretch F40 body that I know of, the Wolfgang F40 replica, and that car was shot down by Ferrari after maybe three bodies were splashed. This was in the mid-'90s. This body - if one were to go up for sale - would go for way WAY more than what your average kit car body would go for. I'd say $20,000 wouldn't be a unrealistic price just for the body and everything along with it intact. You would have a chance to build one of the only accurate F40 replicas out there.
Even if there is an afterthought F40 stretch made by someone, it would require so much work and fabrication that the cost would be quite high. You're talking about potentially cutting up an F40 kit, which is already getting difficult to find, then stretching the body from scratch, which wouldn't be an easy task. Then ensuring that all somehow holds together. HTXextremes here on the forum is doing just this, but it's far from finished. |

Awesome car by the way, not sure if I've posted in here before, but it is gorgeous! Do you have any high-res versions of those latest photos?

Don't know anything about yellow car - and re-sized all the new outdoor pics above except for a few I did not post - don't really know how to post hi-res pics.

That yellow car actually looks like it could be one of the Wolfgang Shultz cars. It has the right mirrors that the Wolfgang car has, and everything else - like placement of the two little vents on the hood and the headlight doors - are all very similar to a Wolfgang kit. The only thing throwing me off is the side vents, which look very close to the rear wheels (need a good side shot)...
I also would like to say great car ferrobi, as I don't think I've commented on your thread. Your car should serve as a example for anyone building any sort of kit car. It was a lot of goodness when you first got it, and you've shown with little tweaks you can even make it better.

Thanks for the follow-up on that^
I'd have to agree with you on the quality of Ferrobi's build. His and the Delorean00's 355 are what I show my friends when they ask about turning a Fiero into a Ferrari.

I want that!
It looks like a non stretched Fiero kit refited and resized to the proper dimensions.[This message has been edited by VF1Skullangel (edited 11-05-2011).]

Well its been awhile since I have posted any pics and finally figured out the new PIP program. Whew.
I had a day off so I changed some fluids - Coolant / Oil .
Amida missed my pretty lady in the last pics so I got her in a couple shots before I covered up for the winter.
Merry Christmas to All

I'd cover the car and not the "pretty lady" if I were you!
