slithern, You say that you are @90% sold on BDR! Well let's work on that other 10%. I have helped build 2 FFR "kits".....They are great cars, but alot of work! I priced out a FFR non - donor , and w/all the extras I wanted ...ss-exhaust...ss roll bar...IRS...Show quality paint and body work...392 engine...not having to put it together....deal w/paint shop...Bottom line , you can buy a BDR Turnkey w/soft top/
oil cooler/heater/Toneau cover and still have less $$$ than SPF and have a Factory Built Car that will hold it's value better than any "kit" out there!
I am considering selling my BDR261 this Fall and ordering another one to have ready to ride next Spring!
