I guess it is good that they did not respond with "FRC? We don't sell Ford Roadster Convertibles".

That's how special the FRC is. Corvette people don't even know about them.

I considered myself a "Corvette" guy for a long time, but was schooled on the name by a late friend on it's meaning. It must have had portents, as I own one now....

The first time I asked, I was told "Fuel Rail Covers" . . .which, in this case, was the answer I was looking for.

Must have been a breakdown in communication. They know what they are.

FRC = Flying Roof Club and they wont sell one that is damaged! ;rofl:

Westcoast Corvette's is a top notch vendor and more than likely it was just a small oversight!

I would call them and speak with them

Thanks,matt

I'm surprised they didn't say they don't have "fourdoor race cars."
