Kevin,
I own CER #1008, blue, white stripes with red pin stripes. See Kit Car Mag March 2007. Great looking billet suspension. Wilwood brakes, Woodward steering, spcae for small Rock Racing battery, 20 gal fuel tank, look at the body lines - rounded rear tire well (vs. more sloping rear), no FFR "tail" on the license plate light, no donor parts. Options include Stainless Steel or chrome, pin drive, etc. The list is long. Build it your way. My suspension is stiff, but not overly harsh. I now have a World Man-o-War 427w, TWM EFI, dyno last week at 613 HP @ 6250 rpm at the rear wheels!

Potential negatives: long wait time for kit? They have upgraded their kits every few cars. (wish I had the larger new trunk and new fuel tank inlet!). Newer cars also have a newer suspension set-up, new engine panel designs (very nice and covers more area - less open space for road dirt to get in), drop down and extended passenger foot box (the wife/girlfriend will like it). I believe the foot boxes are now welded steel vs aluminum panels that you rivet in.

Cost is always going to be an issue. Price out a new FFR kit with upgrades and new parts. There are lots of cheaper rollers, but those are rollers and you didn't build it your way. No WOW! factor and not the same pride in building a kit.

Just my $0.02 . Ron
