I must admit I do get my panties in a wad when I start reading the same things about FFR that I read 10 years ago about them...
Maybe I shouldn't be so defensive... But the way FFRs are built these days compaired to 10 years ago in night and day difference, but some folks keep on thinking "all donor" cars... Hardly any of them are donor these days.
But I try as hard as I can to explain to folks when I go to car shows and I have my 30k car on display beside a 70k SPF,ERA, what the difference is... and I try like hell to point out the difference (IRS vs. striaght axle, my mostly stock motor vs. a 20k motor.) and most of the time they just shrug their shoulders and walk off...Oh, don't get me started on pin drive "real wheels" vs. 4 or 5 lug wheels.
I have never read any threads about 4,5 lugs wheels falling off.

This thread will not be the last discussing the merits or lack there of, of the FFR.... Would I like to have a Kirkham... Damn right!!!!!! ERA TOO!!!!
