OK, so what I want is a round framed square reinforced cross-membered do-hickey with a super reinforced skid pad and an aluminum body, so the dents are hard to bang out. And it'l only cost me $300,00.00 ...
But seriously, I have found this very useful. I just don't know how.
It appears to me that if I buy a:
Shelby
Kirkham
ERA
SPF
FFR
Backdraft
Unique
or a number of smaller manufacturers who have been very kind in contacting me...
That I won't go wrong.
The photo page showing the different manufacturers from the side was very useful to show me that they do, in fact, look different. And I do like the ERA, Kirkham,SPF look the best. The FFR and the Backdraft seam to have a "Bigger Butt" for total lack of a better description. Although I am sure that it is subtle and won't matter once I own one. I think that my pricing will fall somewhere in the FFR/Backdraft to ERA range. I do like the idea of buying a totally American made product (sorry if that offends anyone).
The thread has been informative in that it has provided me with many different opinions and directions in which to focus my own research. So thanks to all for that.
I will make every effort to get to Hope Well this Saturday and I think that will help me a lot. I just hope I can make it.
Keep it going. I would assume at this rate that I'll pick a car before you guys agree.
