rsimeos.

I have both companys cars in house as we speak. Two complete different animals. Any, and I mean any "kit" car on the market can be build with used parts OR new parts. This is strictly up to the owner/builder.

The A&C frame is one of the best and strongest on the market. Not that the FFR frame is less or more. I am not a specialist in torsional rigidity by any means, but a visual inspection to compare frames, unless you are a true mettalurgist / engineer is almost impossible.

A&C will save you thousands in body work. Their glasswork IS some in the best of the business. Dollar for dollar, if you break it down on a spread sheet, compare apples to apples, I'd bet there is going to be very little difference between either one.

FFR did take some huge and major negative hits about their quality of the bodys. However the Smith brothers have improved, improved and improved over the last few years. In fact we just inspected one of the kits that was days old and the new mold and glass work were superb. 1000% improvement over a few years ago.

If you want, if you get in the area, London, Oh. 15 minutes due west of Columbus right off of 70, is our shop. Stop in, compare them side by side, then make up your own mind.

DV...get it now, make it to the Fling!
