Hey GM,

I agree with these posts. Let me qualify my opinion by saying that I will soon be an SPF owner. I, too was facinated by FFR and was considering them, along with LoneStar and SPF.

Besides personal preference, the main difference is new components vs. old components. The old components are sometime almost brand new depending on the donor. Although the donor parts are more than stong enough for most driving styles, they aren't quite the same as the high performance parts used by SPF.

I looked into using just the FFR frame, body, and interior and adding all new suspension and drivetrain components.

The result, if you were an experienced builder and an exceptional painter, would be amazingly close to SPF in both cost and appearance.

Good luck choosing!

Charmer
