Difference between a Van Diemen DP and RF model
I see a couple of VD FB conversions, most are RF models but there is one that is a Elan Van Diemen DP-04. I guess my question is what are the differences between the DP and RF? which is best for an FB conversion? which one, in general, is a better one to own?? Thanks to everyone helping and answering all these crazy questions that I've been asking throughout this website, everyone is so helpful and friendly. I don't want to rush into buying something and regretting it, so I really appreciate the help.

VD Conversion a better choice
In my opinion the Novak VD converion on the 99 chassis is a much better choice. You'll be hard pressed with the DP04 to make minimum weight.....you more than likely will end up with a car that's 40-60 lbs. heavy...not good for reducing lap times.
The Novak conversion in the right hands is competitive and the parts supply is almost endless.
I'm 6'-2 180lbs. and fit in a VD
