    Looks like a neat concept to be sure and I bet it handles great. I am way to traditional for a design like that but I admire it and if it gets more people hot rodding then it is a win win. Don jr

    When I look at their base pictures I cannot see the details of the top to body mount. The top is an "option". Does this mean that there is a visible joint between a "roadster/cabriolet" body, or do they mold the top assembly to the body? I may be able to see this from the build forums - have not looked there yet.
    Edit - after some time on the FF forum the top is removable and they have a set of roadster/cabriolet windshield posts that put the windshield in the same spot "...so that there is only one scuff mark." The more I look at the FFR'33 the more I see that I don't like with the body. Seems to me that the beauty of henry's '33 has been lost to provide more space and the convenience of a removable hardtop - just my opinion from 2d pictures. Face to face it might be a wowser.
