Just wanted to introduce myself, Geoff Peterson.. New here to the forums but have been tinkering with cars all my life. Built a bunch of different things over the years and this is my first FFR venture.... Just a rolling Roadster Chassis that I hope to build a one off body for. I'll post a build thread once it starts. For now I'm looking for a pair of front coil overs so I can get it rolling. Bilsteins on the rear currently but interested in Koni or WHY.

Welcome Aboard & If You Want To Do A One-Off Body Consider Using C-Flex To Build It!

Also, since you are already off of the Factory-5 Reservation did you know that the Datsun Z-Cars (240-Z, 260-Z, 280-Z & 280-ZX) have a wheelbase of 90.74"?
A Wide Bodied Z-Car sitting on a Factory Five Chassis would fit nicely since lengthening the wheelbase would be "EaZy PeaZy" if you have a 3-Link rear.
A Factory Five Roadster has a wheelbase of 90.0" so a little change here and a little change there would make it fit.
I shortened my wheelbase 3/4" to center the rear wheels within the wheel arches so pushing the wheels further aft the same amount wouldn't be much of an issue.

Again, Welcome Aboard From The Guy Who's Already Off The Reservation!
