    I"m pretty sure this FM3 /6 sold on eBay earlier this year.  I was the second highest bidder, lost it in the final seconds.  Sure wish I would have won, but glad to see her coming along nicely!

    Was his name Steve in southwestern Connecticut?  That's who beat me out on a slant 6 3 speed on the floor off of eBay.  There couldn't have been but a handful of those bare bones FM3 cars made, I suspect.  Regardless, you've got a killer cuda . . .

    That's nice pile of parts you have there.   :2thumbs:  Can I ask which heads and rotating assembly you went with.
