Apples-to-apples, Alloycars' roller pricing makes absolutely no sense to me for a newcomer to the alloy body market. IMO, anyone buying an alloy roller would buy a Kirkham hands down.

Having said that, if FFR owners find the $16K attractive for an aluminum body only, then I'd investigate further though when you evaluate the aluminum work based upon that one pic provided by Paul.

Yeeesh that looks bad.
All the other shenanigans aside, that was my point. $10k isn't a big difference at that price range, but the difference in quality is poles apart. It would need to be half the price to make any kind of sense in my view.

Some people can't help but dig themselves into ever deeper holes.

It's been fun watching him dig though.
