I wouldn't worry about Image going sour. Boyd Coddington has plenty of money for such a venture.

As to Don Borders, I've talked to him. He is serious about what he is doing. If there are concerns about delivery time, I'd suggest calling him and finding out what's up.

I'd also ask about the bodies he does. since he's doing a round tube Contemporary type chassis, I'd be willing to bet one of his bodies will fit that Contemporary frame with little or no changing.

The picture above makes me wonder a bit about how FFR is doing the knockoff bodies. When I got mine, it had the head lights and park lights cut out and the mold lines or seams had no work done. Mine also had the floor pan, trunk bottom, front inner fenders andfoot boxes. Methinks the FFR piece would be tough to do much with, unless the buyer has deep pockets.

Keep in mind, the Contemporary body doesn't fasten to the frame on the extreme outside edges. Without the internals already glassed together, there is no way to even use the FFR body. To me, it's a joke.

Talk to Don
