Gentlemen,

I am new to the forum and considering a 427 KMS S/C. I have been in e-mail contact with Steve, and whilst awaiting his answer on my latest questions I thought that I would repost them here for a collective opinion.

How complete is the roller? Is it truly install the engine, transmission and driveshaft, attach the fuel lines, alternator, starter, radiator hoses, add fluids and a battery?

When considering the dropped footbox, how tall is a "tall driver"? I am 6'3 with a size 14 foot. When seated, the distance from my buttock to heel is 48 inches. Do you routinely have the dropped foot boxes in stock? [edit: I have since learned that the dropped footboxes are an in-house item, so they are readily available]

What is your recommendation regarding not immediately finishing the filed body? Does the filed body look / weather acceptably?

The FAQ mentions that the engine heat negates the need for a defroster - am I understanding correctly that the windshield will stay clear on a reasonably cool morning or evening drive due to radiant heat from the engine?

It is my intent to test fit a car ASAP, but that is several months out (I'm currently out of town on "business" - my Uncle has kept me pretty busy lately).

I have an engine/transmission already that I bought for another project, but midway through it, I realize that I really want a roadster instead of a coupe (1970 Mach I).

Thanks in advance!
