What the best way

Hello my name is Donnie, I am trying to decide weather to get the base kit or complete. Any opinion is awesome

Welcome to the forum. To answer your question, we would need to know some more about your plans. I built my roadster before the "complete" kit was available so I have many donor parts in my build. If you like to source parts or have some parts available, go with the base kit. If you want all new stuff, go with the complete kit. Enjoy your time here.

Does the complete kit warrant the 7 thousand dollars

Hi Donnie, welcome to the forum! Which kit are you considering?

My view of the complete kit is this: You will receive parts that are designed to work with your chassis. You won't be sourcing every nut and bolt. You won't be making brackets for everything. Plus, the biggest savings you will get is the TIME it takes to research, buy, wait for delivery, figure out how to mount, etc.

Then again, some guys like making their build unique, and love the idea of custom brackets, billet do-dads, and self-engineering their project.

You can't go wrong with either approach. My approach for my next kit will be to get the complete kit and replace whatever I feel will work (or look) better. Then you can just sell off the parts you don't use.

BTW the complete kits comes with a lot of stuff (brakes, gas tank, suspension bits etc) that you would probably option anyway from FFR.

My $.02
