    Welcome to the fun. Hopefully you can get the 50 50 sale soon. The Whitby power brake booster works nicely after you can get it in the car. Lol. But hydroboost is a good option too. Sir Edward has done both so he has a lot of knowledge in this area and many others. Tough to beat Forte's hydraulic clutch. I have the center dash support on mine with the FFR padded dash with glovebox. It's plastic so if you're going this route I would recommend the under dash support from Mike Everton. Makes it solid as a rock. Good luck and enjoy your build.

    Don't want to rain on the parade, but I've read in multiple places that FFR have told people there will never be another 50/50. Other sales, yes, but not that one. I got the winter special and got $1000 off options..

    Never Say Never Because Like Any Business The Economy & The Company's Cash Flow Drives Everything!

    What drives any business is cash on hand plus receivables minus taxes owed, utilities, insurance, salaries, overhead and accounts payables to vendors for supplies and components.
    Add in the law of supply and demand for orders taken and future order projections and you get the picture.
    The bottom line is the same for all private businesses so in this case, the only person that knows what will be offered in the future is Dave Smith and maybe his accountant.

    Note: The deal I got, though in a much weaker economic time, (Sale Ended On: 11/10/2014) was $1,500.00 off of the complete kit or $2,500.00 off of any add-on goodies with the exception of their Rag Top and Hallibrand Wheels.
