I don't know, I think the "used parts" angle is over blown myself. Nothing wrong with a wrecked Mustang you can pick and choose what parts to use from.

Granted, it is a hassle getting the car to your place and disposing of the body when your done. Of course it leaves a question mark as to the quality of parts. My experience has been theres no gaurentee with new parts!! I just don't have a problem with "road tested" parts myself.

The price should reflect the build quality. Thats the number one thing that keeps me looking at FFR's. They are often a good deal, a bargain for the price, for what you get.

We ALL will customize our replicas to more of our personal taste. But, you can quickly shoot your "bargain" in the foot by getting carried away wanting to "replace" stuff with new and better. Let it go, if it works, it's OK. Spend the money wisely, there is no return on investment to speak of by changing from 4 to 5 lug for instance (when you factor in new wheels and tire mounting/balance). Now if your concern is your going racing and will it be strong enough? Well, that could be debated, I'm not convinced a 4 lug isn't good enough, myself.
