Most guys agree.......it can be anyting you want, depending on who, how and at what cost you build!! FFR does get a bad rap, but only because of a few things..........(outside of those who feel exact original is the only way)...items are the body bolts(can be hidden or painted), windshield (still haven't figuered that one out yet)....and the "perky butt" thing...........but, some like the uniqueness of it all! Other cars have their issues as well, although it be different reasons. If you take a FFR and put a professional builder on it, especially one that knows the car, and go with no doner and fully new and custom, there is no reason it won't be as good, or maybe even better than the high end cars........all depends on the items I, Brian, and others have mentioned. None are exact look alikes. Most important thing IMHO,,,,,,,,,is that you do it the way you like and the best you can....enjoy it and keep in mind that everyone has an opinion........they are like noses........eveyone has one!
