Art - the best site for FFR build information is here:
http://www.ffcobra.com/cgi-bin/ultim...?ubb=forum&f=1
They have an extensive archive and FAQ for FFRs
For local help, social events, or info about other brands and comparisons between brands, this place is excellent. Mine was built with all new parts, so I can't help with your question, but there are several threads about donor-pallet-new on the other site.
