Jim-
Did you have to move the front cross member up? I'm referring to the peice that the steering column passes through and the footboxes attach to.

I don't think so. You see on the vertical piece to the outside of the driver area where the round tube has been ground off? I am pretty certain that is the original cross square tube there which was left in place and round tube removed. The front lower cross bar in front of the bottom of the front of the footbox is different. That is in space according to the Kirkham pedal box to be installed. I'm sure Bruce will chime in once he comes up from the lair... |

Ahhh....thanks! When you say round tube, I assume you are referring to the FFR round tube that is used for foot protection.
Can't wait to take the plunge too. Soon!!!

Bill, from memory from my first build this is the round tube I am referring to. Again though, Bruce is doing this and can clarify if needed. A lot of the original metal from the FFR chassis is just GONE. I think he can accommodate however far you want to go, though...

I'm holding back in terms of expressing how excited I am to get this car in my garage. What Bruce is doing to this chassis just didn't exist and it just takes time. In the meantime I've been racing with buddies in ChumpCar. Between you and me, though, I think this car is going to be kick ass. I know you're in California. Don't worry...

Bill, you are going to do an FIA car or a Comp car?

I ask to make sure you saw the pic of the FIA body on my chassis when Bruce first got it. Fits perfectly... I was back and forth on them and just ended up going the Comp car route...

I am going to go with an FIA body. What's the difference between an FIA and Comp?

Comp is essentially a slabside with the flares pounded out to fit bigger tires. FIA has wide rear hips & front flares

the FiA cars had cutback doors, slightly smaller than the 427 rear fenders, flat front fender flairs, and a D- shaped grill opening

Bruce-
My plan is to use one of your FIA bodies on a FFR Mk4 frame with IRS and pin drive. Will the Trigo FIA wheels with Goodyear Billboards fir inside the rear flares? |
