The future of aluminum conversion for you:
Well, we built one complete car based on a MKIII so far. We have also two bodies close to be finished for the same chassis. Last year I had the opportunity to buy a MKIII kit and I thought this can be a nice way to go. We had scans from an original 427 but when I have seen how many FFR cars are on the planet I looked already forward to go for a kit like aluminum body conversion.
Now, as I can see in this forum is that the MKIII has a "perky butt", whatever this is. But good news is that there is a MKIV and I will update our molds to it. I will have some MKIV based cars and kits ready in around two month. They are already sold and in the meantime I will going to perfect this project.
The bad news for you guys is that I may pulling the plug for the conversion kits as there are forum members who are trying to keep their face and position after they misleaded other club members and now everybody knows that we are real..and this already for a long time.
I had a bad start, some were my fault but most negative threads came from members who really dont like that we are going forward with this idea. Threads like "They are using a MKII from Kirkham" or "Hey, I have seen this car at Pebble Beach" or "I never heard from 150 or 14 bodies".....really?

We have over 20,000sqf of production facility in one building only. I have a second one where we are doing paint jobs, assembly and upholstery. Some areas can be visited over our live cameras.

If I go for the kit conversion is fully up what I will see here in this forum.
I like that a member has his own ideas how those conversion can be perfected so here is my offer.

We open a new thread like "Alloycars aluminum bodied FORUM project" and we start over with objective club members. Idea is using a MKIV as explained and using opinions to finish this project as there is not only the outer shell. There are inner panles, door panles hood frames and so on which has to be configurated the right way. We can do this together and this is the only way I willing to do this.
Your opinions, votings and I am offering to build it how YOU want. Is this a word?.
