Just completed this for one of Mike's customers...based on the Feeling43 kit I have made some simple modifications, such as revising the way the rear cover opens. I fabricated a hinge so the owner can easily open it and not be forced to fiddle with the delicate set up in the kit. Also used Bosica wheels and tires per the owners request and added machined rivets to the window surrounds and machined brake assemblies and fuel fillers as well as the headlights and tail lights. The rear space frame was also scratch built...the white metal furnished by F43 in the kit is not very good.

If interested in having one built from your kit [or of another F43 subject] please contact Mike McCormick and he will work out the details.

I think that Peter did a fantastic job with this difficult kit. It took some time to complete but I told Peter to take what he needed to do the job right. So I have just outed myself as the owner of this gem and if anyone has any questions from a customer's perspective, feel free to email me.
