Beautiful car! Looks like a high quality build. I'm glad a slabside is finally available from FF, didn't even know about it.
Sorry Pete, but it's not available from Factory Five. That's why I say it's Factory Five based. The frame is from FFR1293K which I purchased in 1997 from Factory Five. The body was purchased from Bruce Chervenack (Mr. Bruce) in 2010. Here is a picture of when I first finished 1293K
Here is another iteration of 1293K
And well, the final product is above.
Thanks,
John O

John, I think your FFR roadster is the finest looking one ever built! ( Why David Smith refuses to produce one is beyond logic. ) Given all the custom fabrication, sourcing of slabside parts, would you do it again? Or would you sell FFR1293k and buy an ERA slabside kit? Thank you, Double A
Aaron, I responded to your PM. The answer lies in there.

PS: Thanks so much for the compliments!

Spectacular!
With so many s/c variant kits on the market, I'm surprised a company as capable as FFR doesn't make street car kits including slab sides.
I'd pull the trigger for a street car in a New York second.
