Next point:

I mentioned that I going to THINK about the possibility to offer in the future an aluminum body conversion kit for FFR cars. Please read my reply carefully.
There is absolutely nothing done so far. So why is somebody asking for details...which details?
What do you think I have to answer to a question like that?

I saw this after my previous post.

I'm not going to dig it up, but I'm pretty sure you guys made reference to using the FFR frame in your kit. You guys also made reference to potentially selling a body alone. While not interested in your kit, I am interested in an alloy body. The questions come because you guys brought up the potential. If you have no interest in selling a body only, why mention the possibility?

Mike, the answer is easy. I think there is a big potential doing a conversion kit for FFR users but I dont have any answers before I start and finish the first prototype of this conversion. The actual car we built is made based on a FFR MKIII....and unfortunately with his famous butt. But I dont care as it was....yes...a prototype, meaning we are learning from it.
We are going to build three MKIV with aluminum bodies and we can simply weld and modify those FFR chassis. And this is what we have to figure out on this conversion kits. A bolt on solution or something else to attach the sub frame for the body himself.
Before we figured this out it will be a simple idea only. If we are going through the end it will be an awesome product I think.

If you lie, you need a good memory. 150 or 14, have one or have not...what is it?

Next question, did ALLOYCARS develop and build the 550 entirely? How any were sold as of today.
THIS IS SHOP TALK! If you can't answer simple questions - then you have no reason to be here, besides making out yourself the CC fool of 2014 AND 2015.

Oh,

you produced and sold from 1996 to 2007 150 alu body cars (your claim). In 2007 you seized production and 3 years later you still had 14 bodies in the shop?

Makes no sense to me.....
