Some body comparisons between CSX3021 (Bill Turner's car), my Hurricane #6, an ERA and the new MKIV:

Looks pretty good to me. The Long Rocker panel is kind weird but maybe not as noticeable standing next to it? The roll bar is the biggest "Deal Breaker for me. Other than that the car looks pretty damn nice. Be interesting to see how it all translates in person. Many time the differences in the body seem to be more pronounced in pictures.
It's interesting to see how much lower the ERA seats seam to sit in relation to the body. Are FFR floorboards high?

Some nice improvements. I am dissapointed in the shape of the wheel arches. They could be molded from an old race car that has been wrecked a few times, but they should be better than this for an all new body. I'm sure in the flesh, it'll be a gorgeous car though. And if you spend enough time on the body work they will turn out nice.

That's my FiA plug that I built 5 years ago, with the FiA splash mold wraped around it, chin mold section of the nose is not on there, exposing the oil cooler nacel. did anybody get an honest straight answer what they are going to do? |

Yup, been sitting up there collecting dust for quite some time. 
Whenever someone asks about where my 289FIA is, Dave Smith points to your unused buck.
