Last time I checked, (last summer), the original cobra body (grey gel coat) I took delivery on when I bought my kit was still parked outside dons house/barn being subjected to the weather. In Jan 09' it was sitting there in 3 feet of snow. So there is at least one.

Somehow while CRII was suppose to be finsihing my car for the paint shop (07'-08'), the original cobra body was switched with a white gel coat body that was all jacked up (delaminating and cuts from someone who made all kinds of mistakes). When I got a chance to get to the body shop, you could imagine my suprise. This happened 11 months ago, end of Dec 08. In Jan, I arranged to take the rest of my parts back from CRII as all trust was lost by this point, and have the body shop pick up where CRII fell short, and finish the car for me.

Lots of parts missing though, cost me many thousands of dollars to fix the body, and thousands more to pay for parts that I had already paid for once before. of course according to Don the white shell was always the body that was on it, even though the doors, hood, and trunk lid where all grey, and dispite the numerous pictures I have when I took delivery in 2004, assembling the frame in my garage, and pics from dropping the car off to finish to rolling chassis in preparation for paint, and pics from a few of the times I stopped by CRII to check on the progress.

This is one of many issues I encountered with CR, and CRII.
