Bob,
I'm a builder, been building for the last 3 1/2 years (Life will get in the way
). Building a car is not easy BUT very rewarding and FFR's have some challenges but a super owner group is there to help.
Pros:
Lots of FFR's out there, more than likely you'll find help for your build your local area.
It is up to you how you want to finish your Kit. Donor, all new or somewhere in between (like me)
Great value for the money (not a single person can believe I have less than 30K in my build)
Source parts from local auto part stores (Mustang based running gear)
American Company
Designed/engineered to be raced
Cons:
They have branched out into other kits (GTM, '33 Hotrod) and haven't fixed some small problems with their Mark III kit.
HIH, Pat
