    I've built/rebuilt 14 of their MK 1, MKII, and MK II.5 Roadster kits
    Also finished off their original Silver prototype "Spyder" for Carlisle back a few years.


    As for the new "33" kit, some of the builders are complaining about body fit issues, other than that they love what they've got on their hands.

    Here is a link to the "spec" builders (the most experienced FFR related hobbiests got a few kits early on)

    I've known Dave Smith (owner of Factory Five) since his businesses very early days, straight forward, tell it like it is type of guy (with a little salesmanship thrown in for good measure ).......You'll like his products as they do a lot of engineering before bringing it to actual market.....If you call and speak with him, tell him "mrmustang" says hello......

    Looks like a great place to start. I love the Type 65 coupe modeled after the Daytona. Now I just need to win the lottery!
