Cycle fenders and windshield wipers would be smart.

If you ride a motorcycle you'll be used to it.

I wonder how well a m120 will fit

Motorcycles have fenders.

Looking at the engine listings they have it set up for, it looks like an AOD is the only auto they offer? Not that something else couldn't be made to fit, but I wonder why that is.

There's a guy on a FB group I'm in who's building a 32 highboy with Porsche 928 underpinnings and drivetrain.

Made me think about building a Locost from a cast off 924/944.  Again.

This.  This doesn't help me, since I don't have a lot of time to build a car from scratch, nor are the exo-cars and the like really sounding like fun as I get older and less able to tolerate the sun in large batches.

Sigh, anyone got a winning lottery ticket?

I'm thinking cycle fenders all round.

The thing's (over) built like a brick E36 M3house. As cool as it is, it strikes me as a bit heavy unless you'd actually use it as a truck, which would be limited by the very shallow bed. Or.... go all-out and make it a flatbed!

weight is listed right on their website - 2380 lbs.   Thats subcompact car weight.

True, And I should figure for the cab and bed. I think of it being fairly useless as a practical vehicle and comparing it to more track-focused stuff, but in actual fact it does have a lot of utility. You win wink

I visited FFR early this month and I got to see it in pieces 2 days before it was assembled. I mentioned it in my road trip thread. The FFR hot rods have some serious suspension.  I can’t remember if they went ‘glass or steel for the truck body, but I think they will be offering both once they start shipping. Steel is a $10k option.
