Hi Dan, there are a few of us guys here that are really passionate about the street cars. There are street versions of at least an FFR and ERA we've seen regularly on here. Larry LMH and Frank 428street are both good resources. Any of the issues you have observed can be corrected or have the parts customised or replaced. Having said that decide based on what you want mechanically, assembly wise, support etc and go from there. Ask specific questions on the build when you're into it and we'll steer you in the right direction. As an example I had an FFR body here that the trunk can move up and down a foot and a half. The panels that support the back of the body can easily be trimmed down to unperk it. Dash issues can be corrected with a replacement or a blank that you lay out yourself. Readily available parts for much of it. Go for it!
