And...about that FIA body style you are simply going to swap out....well, let's just say it's been "being developed" for a loooong time.....you may also want to research the market for "one owner never used" FFR bodies....if you want to consider an alternate to ERA's FIA car, at the very least look at Unique as a reasonable alternative that is fully sorted.
Seriously, you are exactly where I was about 2 years before I pulled the trigger and bought my car....eager, and all the desire in the world, and sensing the goal is close, but, realistically not enough $$$ to proceed...you may want to consider waiting a bit....about $10000 bits +-.
Good luck.  |
Well, I already have a buyer for the body. I would be interested to know why $18000 is not enought to proceed?
The FFR kit is $12900. I have it on very good authority the body will be ready for release very soon. I already have a toploader and a 289. I am also purchasing(planning I should say) in the FFR parts catalog, the new rear end, a frames, new complete disc brake kit from a Cobra Mustang which includes the front spindles, axles for the rear end. Also in the catalog is the new steering rack. Also purchasing the 3 link suspension. All of this adds up to $18004.00. I already said the rest will come over time as I am building the car. I have never said $18000 would be my budget for the entire car. I will bet most of the people who start building these cars did not start out with $30-40,000 in cash ready to spend.
