Nobody said they were. Is this some type of trolling post?

Without a doubt, the finest wiring job I have ever seen behind a dashboard. I've seen NASA satellites that did not have wiring done that well...

Very nice car.

Only two things that seem weird to me...

1- he's got an interesting way of making bends in piping, and

2- I am not sure why he'd go through all that effort and expense (as in, spared none) and did fake knock offs instead of using real knock off wheels.

Whew, proof provided.
Now we can all stop assuming FF's were built with junk parts.

Nice build but no spf. Look at the alignment on the driver side door panel relative to the rear fender, it does not appear flush in the picture. The trunk gap is also appears squezzed in some areas.

Just to be clear... I lifted that quote from the builder of the car on the FF forum. That is who "GF" is. Not my words... or thoughts.

And thoughts as to how much time and $$$ he has in the car?
I would think that to be an important factor.
Either way, be it a FFR - Era - SPF or any other replica out there...but there is no taking away for the over-all quality of the build...

I apologize and thought that was out of character for you not me LOL!! there is some minute panel misalignment and I do not know if it easily correctible because the top half of the door is flush and bottom kicked out. No doubt better than I could ever do in my wildest dreams and the guy puts me to shame.

I thought it was an interesting "glass houses comment" from the FFRer. From my end I have a nearly impossible time getting the FF guys to show up and join our events. With the exception of Todd, they just will not join in

The way I presented that quote was not clear, I was trying to get it in there though.
