How do define success? Numbers of units sold? Net Income Before Taxes? Net Income After Taxes? How much you give back to the environment? How much you give to charity? How many years you've been in business? Do you define success by the level of accuracy to the original? How many happy customers in total? Happiness as a % of kits sold? Etc., etc., etc.
I can keep going, but ERA has been in business for a very long time and they appear to have a lot of happy customers. They've been quite successful. FFR by the shear number of kits sold is a success. SPF is a great success as well. In a short amount of time, they have built many GT40s, Cobras, Daytona Coupes, etc. and now they have a licensing agreement from GM for a Grand Sport Corvette. Kirkham, their customers as well as others just recently raised a ton of money for hospital charity by auctioning off one of their cars and it wasn't the first time they have raised money for charity. Not to mention all the Tea Party stuff.
Anyway, success can be defined in many ways by many people.
