Thanks everyone,

I chose SV mostly on reputation, they have been around a long time and have many happy customers.

From what I understand the SV Coupe is much closer to the original size and shape, FFR took some liberty with the body style and while they have a great product it just wasn't what I was looking for. The HDR coupe is fantastic but out of my price range.

I ordered the Coupe pretty much bare bones, no front suspension, no interior, not much if any addional add ons. I did ask to have the hood and doors mounted and latched, also all the body cutouts completed. I also requested the 4-point roll bar option.

I am planning to build a very lively sb stroker and hope to install a efi stack system, with some other light weight componets this should be a fantastic track car that will be fun on the street also.

I am so looknig forward to getting started on this project, the shelves in my shop are already filling up with components from Summit and Ebay.

I will try to keep you all posted on the progress,

Scott S
