That car is a beautiful specimen of an ERA.
Blyk, I'm presuming that you are referring to the overall differences between the FFR (which has many compromises) and the ERA (which is quite authentic).
Some of the reasons the FFR 'looks' different:
Visual compromises due to frame design and donor requirements.
Rear-quarters are longer, higher and have a different hip profile.
The external trunk hinges are not part of the original design.
The trunk shape (it's 'peak' at the license plate) is not accurate
The roll bar is higher and at a different pitch.
The belt-line (profile) is more horizontal than the original.
The door shape is larger and angularly different.
The lower nose has more panel area in front of the wheels than most.
These are a few of the major visual differences....there are more subtle ones as well.
Hope this helps.
