I have looked at others but I havent seen one that provides as much for my money as FFR does. Last kit car company I looked at they only supplied the fiberglass body pieces and the frame and you were responsible to get everything else but it cost the same as the FFR kits do where you get everything included minus the engine trans and rear end.

I will do that. Looking at the photos of the Coupe, it looks good. I have to make a note on if that coupe has the plexiglass rear hatch or a glass rear hatch. If its plexiglas it looks very good, if its glass I might have to get him to make me a rear glass hatch with a frame and rivets/bolts to hold it in place. I just found out that the glass hatch offered by FFR for the coupe now has holes in the glass for the hinges, gas struts, and the handle/latch. That doesnt sound too safe cause to get a good seal to prevent leakage without a frame on the glass all it would take is a rough road to cause the glass to flex and now you have a split/cracked/busted rear glass hatch now.
I just cant understand why they didnt design it to mount to a frame. A frame would provide way better support to the glass and reduce the risk of damage under normal useage.
