Mr. Fixit, I am new to the forum and I'm not one to stir the pot but...
What you're saying is a REAL stretch. If the FFR body weren't even close, then Shelby wouldn't have sued them for "Trade Dress" infringement. Also, just because a large number of the parts can come from a single car, it is not necesarily a "re-body" A "re-body" as I believe it is generally accepeted would be putting a fiberglass ferrari body on a fiero or a corvette. The interior stays the same, the wheelbase stays the same, everything stays the same but the look of the car.
If one uses a single donor car to build their FFR, they are changing more than just the look. They are changing body, chassis, wheelbase, vehicle stance, handling characteristics and so on. Most of these changes are in the set up of the chassis.
Just because a mustang is unibody, does not mean it doesn't have a frame. It has a sub-frame in front and a subframe in the rear. the fenders, quarter panels, and all sheet metal can be removed and replaced. the subframe components can be replaced as well.
Just because you don't like the FFR kits, you can't make them into something they are not just to make your argument.
Hopefully I haven't made an enemy here!
