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)

Matt, the ERA is a very nice car too and should definitely be considered. I should have mentioned that. I built an FFR and have had a lot of fun. If I were in your price range again and considering the FFR, BDR, or ERA I'd likely look real hard at the ERA because I also like the look. The good thing is that there are a lot of good cars out there. If you start narrowing cars down by look, frame, and price that probably will focus you on what you want. Just make sure you think about how you will use the car. If you plan to track the car then you need to consider consumables like pads, rotors, etc.
