big picture is price: can u deliver a roller with an alum body for half the cost of a Kirkham roller ($90,000) ?
Actually we are selling cars, ready to drive and with an aluminum body starting under 85,000. They are based on MKIV.

Bodies? I have to make a conversion kit first and then I will know something about the price. I am still evaluation the whole situation as I still search for an "attachment" solution.

With FFR I have an agreement with Tony that we are going individually and we agreed that future customers can in fact buy kits from FFR without a bodies getting the respective discount. I cant build a high quantity like FFR as they are quick to built, at the other side I think we could produce 6-8 kits/month for sure. Lets see.
