FFR Coupe

[SACoupe]

Can anyone out here tell me how much difficulty, if any, they had making parts from the FFR coupe kit fit together.
what is the overall quality of these kit components and how much finishing is left to the builder on the body panels, chassis and aluminium panels etc etc
I am contemplating buying and building one of these kits to supplement my 65 shelby GT350 R code clone.

Check out the coupe forum at ffcobra.com.

Sounds to me like the chassis/aluminum panels are about the same work as the FFR Roadster, but the body is more work.

Are there any owner builders out there who have built their own cars..and i am talking about the coupes, not the roadsters
i wihs to find out what this job entailed aparts form the normal bolt on asd the manufacturers claim.

I built the FFR roadster 2 years ago and sold it to get the coupe kit I am currently building. As someone else has posted, the ffcobra forum is a great place for information and lots of help/advice.
My own experience so far, the drivetrain and chassis are almost identical (though the wheelbase is slightly longer), pretty easily accomplished after last years roadster build. The body is much more complicated and slightly (almost 2x) more expensive to have the bodywork and paint done.
You are welcome to e-mail me with more specific questions, as my car is at the paint shop now. I hope to be driving in airconditioned comfort in Phoenix Az. this summer.
