Mark, I look forward to seeing your build. nice shop. I am very interested in the GT-R. I have some home renovation I need to complete before I place my order. I think I am 2 - 3 years out. I hope to stop in to visit Fran's shop in the next year. I am out of Boston so its not a local drive for...

view of my garage :) hoping to purchase the GT-R in about 2 - 3 years. Kids...

WOW I like that body style and look. sharp looking car.

killing me Fran. I started looking on Craigslist again for Eclipse. I had two others I almost bought for $400 $500 each. but I passed on them because of the status of the project. well I started a major home project(s) so I think I will wait and see how a build or two go if it make it to the...

I think I win, my first car was a 1978 Mustang II hatch back with the v6. and yes I fully restored it with my father. 4 speed. black, red leather, T tops. all show no go.... the ladies loved it :)

Pretty nice look car. I like the body style. But I do not think it is the Apex. That would be a dump and cash grab by Fran to sell it to this group of guys. <?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> No disrespect intended Fran. <o:p></o:p>

I am moving on to the GT-R that Fran is releasing in August. yes it cost double what the Apex was forecasted to cost. but I am fine with that. I just have to delay my order for a year to save a few more $$

will this car be a street legal? ETA on when it will be available? Can I put a big block ford into it?

I second the question. Is this a track only car? Or can it be used on the street also? Is there a price range yet?

Matt, Thanks for the update and positive view of the car. I am excited about the car and hope it comes available. But I have grown frustrated waiting and hoping for the car release. I almost bought two eclipse but I decided to wait into the car was officially released. I thought I missed out on...

Fran, Thank you for the update, but this is kind of disappointing to hear. I have been following the Apex and the FFR 818 because they are “entry level” kit cars with modern looks for first time builders. Like others have pointed out they are young (under 45) and looking to do their first kit...

Thanks for the heads up. There are not many option besides the 818 or (maybe) the Apex to do a modern style and somewhat cheap kitcar. Sure I would love to do a GT40 but that a little out of my price range at this time. Also i want something that not just a Sunday drive. 818 & apex could be...

does anyone know of this car? DDR Motorsport i really don't like the 818

"We are currently awaiting a business decision before moving forward with the APEX." theirs decision or Superlites decision? thats the question. i have been waiting for this car and waiting. i still hope it comes but i started look at the 818 and seeing if they are going to make a coupe. the...

this is good to hear (first time builders). i am a little nervouse about cutting the cabin and builting on the back section of the car.

R.Martin can you summarize the eclipse strip down on what needs to be removed and what order you did it in? (best practices or gotcha that you found). Also can you supply a parts list or links to places you bought parts\supplies.

pretty cool, i will be following his build. is this a beta build before production?

i am still waiting for the Apex GTA. my schedule is to buy an Eclipse this fall to start stripping it down to what is needed for the Apex and then order the Apex in the spring\summer 2015.

How does your co-worker liking the 818? A co-worker and I started following the 818 and once they released the body (hood pins), we lost all interest in it. Just waiting for the Apex to reach production. I figure I will buy a donor next summer and in fall order the Apex (if it available).
