I was aware. Well actually I have seen at least one (could be the same car year after year) at the London car show, as FFR always has some cars on display.
They always display the roadster, no top, no fenders, no running boards, etc. Basically a stripped down hot rod. My personal taste is, I want all those missing parts. I pretty much like 'em the way Henry designed them, as far as looks go. I don't like the wood floors, sorry brakes, etc.
So I'm looking at FFR website, and they do offer a removable hard top, fenders, and running boards. Then I notice the fine print disclaimer, "running boards are not load bearing design." WTF? Why would I want running boards, if I cannot step on the Fing thing. Who the hell would want them on there if they had to step over them?
Oh yea I'm quite aware that I could modify them to take the load. At these prices I shouldn't have to. I can buy a perfect steel body for not much more.
