Some body comparisons between CSX3021 (Bill Turner's car), my Hurricane #6, an ERA and the new MKIV:

Looks pretty good to me. The Long Rocker panel is kind weird but maybe not as noticeable standing next to it? The roll bar is the biggest "Deal Breaker for me. Other than that the car looks pretty damn nice. Be interesting to see how it all translates in person. Many time the differences in the body seem to be more pronounced in pictures.
It's interesting to see how much lower the ERA seats seam to sit in relation to the body. Are FFR floorboards high?

I'll keep mine, but the Mark IV does look good...
Maybe I'll try to convice the wife she needs one!

Al, is that some kind of Jedi mind trick? 
Nice cars should get what they're worth but a lot more people will exclude the mk3 from consideration versus the mk4. We'll see what the market says! |

Some nice improvements. I am dissapointed in the shape of the wheel arches. They could be molded from an old race car that has been wrecked a few times, but they should be better than this for an all new body. I'm sure in the flesh, it'll be a gorgeous car though. And if you spend enough time on the body work they will turn out nice.

Me. x2. Just got back from FFR. They've done one heck of a job and most certainly they've been listening to their customers and vendors. The pictures below are better than any I was able to take. (and of course my battery went dry after 2 pics) Aside from the obvious, the trunk and hood undersides have been finished off nicely. They also nailed the front suspension geometry. The car simply doesn't look like a kit. Take the complete kit plus IRS and you'd be hard pressed to beat this home built roadster. The Coyote engine uses the same mounts as the 4.6 and it's on it way into the silver car pictured.
The parking lot was overflowing to neighboring lots. They'll be a ton of pictures coming from others as they make their way back home so stay tuned.

That's my FiA plug that I built 5 years ago, with the FiA splash mold wraped around it, chin mold section of the nose is not on there, exposing the oil cooler nacel. did anybody get an honest straight answer what they are going to do? |
