Mr Nobody,
If you buy a body and have it installed, please be sure to post here.
This community would love to hear from at least one customer.
Noone doubted if they were real but if you indeed read everything, you'd see that the negativities weren't unjustified.
Thanks for the update, BTW.

I have seen all previous posts. This is why I went there at the first place.
In my opinion I think they had a bad start but if you are really interested to get an aluminum body you could give them a chance, as I did.
It's undeniable. They are real, they are building aluminum Cobras and this is what matters.

Wait a minute. In your first post you said you found this forum AFTER visiting Alloycars. Now you say you visited them because of what you read here? Having trouble keeping your story straight?

Actually, he said he found this forum after visiting the show and doing a google search. That would flow if he then visited the shop today, and posted this afternoon.

Just sayin.

What is your FFR chassis number, as I have someone that may be looking for a replacement fiberglass body, but it has to be in a certain number range to fit on his current FFR chassis. Also, what color is your current fiberglass body painted?

Can I ask you why I have to give my personal information to you? Pictures will be posted as soon I have. But I have seen about your inflammatory posts here. In my world those guys like you are called "Trolls", never giving up.
Mister, I think you are going to loose your face very soon.
And guys like you made me believe that I cant have an aluminum body for my car, so please understand that you are not my favorite club member here.
Again, they are real whatever you post.

I asked so you could potentially sell your painted FFR body and recoupe 5-8K of your aluminum body venture. However, if you do not want to let me know what the FFR chassis number is so we can see if the body will fit the same or not same chassis range, that too is fine. But when someone asks a simple question and cannot get a simple answer in response, then everyone sits back and wonders what they are hiding, and why, for if they were on the up and up, they would certainly have no trouble responding in an open and honest manner.

As for calling names, you'll find that in any of my posts with alloy cars threads, all I was doing was fact checking, and it was Ingo/Tom who sunk low enough to call everyone names. But as they say, it's your money, you are free to do what you like with it.

You have had it for several years, so can you just provide the chassis number?

Jeff,

what was the time frame they were quoting to get you an Aluminum body for your FFR? I'd like to ask at what price too, but I was told it's rude to ask people what things cost



If you read back on the other posts, I don't think anyone here didn't think they were a "real" company. Many however were questioning what they were claiming as their work

Joe, rude? Why? Time frame is five weeks after delivery of my car. Price including installation is U$16K. Payment after conclusion. That's fair or not?

US$16K sounds wonderful, how about some more details on what is included in this price?

Aluminum body and new substructure to mate it to your existing MK III chassis (is it a MK III, or MK III.5 as there are differences in the substructure, hence my reason for the want of your FFR chassis number for your old fiberglass body).

File finish?
Brushed finish?
Raw Finish?

What about the new hood, trunk, and door hinge assemblies that will not be able to be switched over from your current FFR chassis?
Are they going to have hidden trunk hinges, or are they going to stick with the external (Triumph TR4) trunk hinge assemblies?

What exactly will be included for your US$16K ?

Those of us who have built multiple FFR's in the past await your detailed response.

MrNobody,

With over 17 FFR's I've personally owned, I'd still like you to respond to the above when you have a chance. Will be interesting to read the details of exactly what you are getting for your US$16K.
