A Kirkham roller is $80,000. An Alloycars roller is $70,000.

But, Alloycars makes pin drive and independent rear optional. And rear brakes aren't even mentioned, unless I'm missing something. Apples-to-apples, Alloycars' roller pricing makes absolutely no sense to me for a newcomer to the alloy body market. IMO, anyone buying an alloy roller would buy a Kirkham hands down.

Having said that, if FFR owners find the $16K attractive for an aluminum body only, then I'd investigate further though when you evaluate the aluminum work based upon that one pic provided by Paul.

Yeeesh that looks bad.
