New body work video by F5R is fantastic!! TW
Great Video. My seams are so thin, you can literally shine a light through from underneath. Thankfully, I'm not doing the body work. For those of you that have tackled the body work, I raise a glass in your honor.

Built FFR9457. 351 Windsor, TKO600, 3.73. Fitech EFI. Russ Thompson throttle pedal, turn signal, and trunk pan. Carbon Fiber dash with Speedhut Revolution gauges. Paint by Jeff Kleiner.
Sorry, but there are no seems in the body, it a one piece layup. The reason you see light at the mold parting line is because there is little to no gelcoat in the area, it's the same thickness as the rest of the body. If they didn't apply gelcoat you could see light through the whole body.
I wish FFR would do one of these videos showing the full body making process. Assembling the molds, prepping the molds with release agent, applying the gel coat, laying the mats, releasing the molds, and trimming the body. I think it would go a long way in clearing up the confusion and misconceptions about how the bodies are made.

Does anybody know if the 25th Anniversary trunk will fit on the previous body and if FFR is going to be selling them separately? I'd love to swap it out now before paint if that is the case. It would be nice to be able to see the full license plate and have it align vertically with the latch.
