John,
I notice you are in NC. You should go check out Whitby Motorcars in Greensboro (
www.whitbymotorcars.com). Jeff is one of the most knowledgeable guys when it comes to FFR's and he'll take the time to answer all of your questions (heck he answered all my stupid questions!!!). He always has some cars in varying stages of builds plus some finished cars. He has a finished FFR coupe that I know of and right now he has my all black FFR roadster (might only be there the rest of this week!!!).
E-mail me (mcuozzo@comcast.net) if you have more quesitons.
