This is something I wanted to ask and get opinions in this forum but now I am asking myself if I have to go blind in this project or be eaten by wolfes before I even start this idea.
I am starting three FFR units end of this month...this is the only thing I can tell.
When taken in context with the rest of this thread, your answer seems a bit elusive. For anyone with and FFR, using your body will present issues that require some specifics that will not be answered by looking at a car in a show and you don't seem willing to share. I'm not sure if you are in fact being elusive or maybe aren't aware of how critical some of these issues will be.

For example: The infamous FFR perky butt. I expect many who would be willing to pay for an alloy body have modified their FFR with what is called a "drop butt" mod, which gives a look closer to an original car. While the fiberglass body accommodates this mod quite nicely, an alloy body would most likely have significant issue dealing with the stresses induced. FFR owners need to know exactly which FFR frame you are using, what you are doing at all body mount interface locations, and whether your body has the perky butt.

There are more examples but quite frankly, one more "just come an look at it" and I'm out. If you can't (or won't) be bothered to answer specific questions, you certainly aren't worth my time to go and look. I went all the way to Miami to have a custom aluminum trailer built, but he was actually willing to answer specific questions.
