Al, funny you should mention that. The reason I went with a scratch build instead of a FF5 (my choice at the time) was because of the body issues. If I had waited long enough for the Mark4 body to come out, I would have been on the road sooner and much easier- plus probably much cheaper.
I really like the Mark 4 bodies and the changes they made to the roadsters to make them more "original" looking.
Keep posting updates, this should be a killer build.
