Factory Five,
Well, I guess we can finally put all those rumors to rest. I even got a call from the man on this one.
We sold one, uno, jeden, body to FFR. Hey, if someone calls you up and wants a body, what are you going to tell them...go away?
FFR bought a body and used it for experimentation/marketing. I really never spoke to them about it very much. I don't know how much they wanted to sell them for, or if they were even very serious. They were quite nice guys though.
As for our body on someone else's frame...
We are interested in selling cars and expanding the market for everyone. Many people have told us we would ruin our name by putting our body on other people's chassis'. Well, we think people's rides are by and large works of art--regardless of who made the chassis. Everyone is proud of their ride and what kind of snob would I be telling them they can't put our body on their car?
Now, financially speaking...I don't know if we can do it or not. That is why I am taking this poll. I sincerely thank everyone for their responses. I do appreciat it and I can tell you we discuss it at work.
Mr. Bruce,
You are correct. There is a whole bunch of work to make one of those bodies fit if you are not familiar with the work. I have seen some great work out there by enthusiasts...but it will be a lot of work.
As for making a retrofit kit for a particular manufacturer's chassis...I am not sure which one would be the best. That is why we left it as it was. Hey, who can complain...we sold 4 of them within a week of their arrival in the States.
Thank you for all the comments on differentials, control arms, etc. I am listening.
David
