Thoughts on an FFR car at $50k

I had an FFR with "pin drive option" which effectively meant "pin drive width control arms, cutting, cussing, and grinding". I bought knock off wheels from Vintage Wheels. They came with a 5-lug adapter kit. I installed the adapters. I took my time and did it right. Then I put the wheels on. I really liked my lead hammer. Every once in a while, I'd check them with a light "tap". Never had a problem. Never even had one budge the slightest after the first check or 2 that needed to be hammered.

Not sure the phrase "FFR Pin Drive" being used here means much of anything. FFR doesn't have anything to do with it other than providing shorter arms that allow the wheels to fit. (Patrick, that isn't meant for you, but for people who might be reading and just don't know any better.)

After the work was done, I was happy with the result. OK, now I'm just showin' off. I liked that car.

That makes sense -- and it looks to me like it's pretty much the same five pin job that SPF, and some ERAs, use. You can't tell they're not six pins when the wheel is on and, once you get them aligned just right, they do just as well as six pins. OK, I understand now.
