There were several reasons that I went with the lone star kit. For one, I am doing something unique with my build a Brian and his team have been very accommodating. The new 427GT has a lot of refinements and the suspension is impressive. The new GT has an independent rear option that is well thought out and is solid, what is nice it uses all new parts, you aren't getting used or rebuilt parts and there is nothing you have to source yourself it is all supplied. The body is solid, there is nothing flimsy about even the smallest part, all the panels like the hood, doors, and trunk are smooth inside and out, the body seams are the best that I have seen anywhere. I did the initial block sanding on the body and there was minimal work anywhere. I have been extremely pleased with the choice of this car, Brian knows these cars and can really help if you want to do something unique.

If you look at what you get, the Lone Star is less expensive than the FFR, and as stated, resale value is usually higher. The Lone star frame is the sructucture of the car. When it's been referred to as unibody, that's not to say the body is a structural element, but rather the body and the interior tub are bonded together rather than all of the aluminum panels.

Also, the LSC IRS is heads and shoulders above the FFR. It uses the 2000 or so Explorer components and is much more readily available and tougher than the last of the bone yard scrap Tbird refuse. Give it a look.
