When Curt published that guide several years ago FFR had some serious issues with quality control, timely delivery, horrendous issues of kits being shipped minus parts and long waits for back-ordered or missing parts to be delivered. Also, it was often impossible to contact someone "live"regarding your problems with your build. Among a myraid of other things.

There has been a rash of "kit car" builders over the years that really tarnished the "kit car" image and business. Curt blew the whistle on these companies. Unfortunately at the time FFR made " promises" to customers complaints , and were very slow in delivery, or correction. Sort of a hodge-podge of things going wrong, etc. that left a sour taste for many customers.

Curt gave them a chance, nothing changed from FFR, he dropped them from advertising and gave them a critical write-up.
FFR has since gotten their act together and produce a quality car with a very loyal following, available at a very affordable price.

The "Complete Guide to Cobra Replicas" 3rd edition is 4-5 years old or so--Curt has not published a new one since, and I'm sure if he did he would give FFR another chance, and kudos for overcoming there problems
