No mud slinging and I appreciate your voiced complaints. I don't want you to go away mad at all, obviously your disappointed, but you have got to remember a couple of things. Regarding the Holley, YES they can and are a problem for most people. One backfire and the power valve is shot as in your case. I offered numerous times to replace the P.V., Klotz has them hanging on the wall!
Wheel bearings- absolutely wrong, no excuse, I told you immediately when we found out they were in backwards. (John the employee who was trying to help meet your deadline(s) had no excuses either, just a very red face!) I called him/John as soon as I left Mears and told him I NO longer needed his services but thanks for trying!
Now, IF it happens to turn into a "Man Made Reef" for the local fishing habitat, If I am not embarrassing you or me, let me have it over the winter and absolutely list every complaint you have! I will post every complaint with pictures and the repairs OR tightening of bolts to show the fix. I will also cut the inside of the trunk out and reinforce the fiberglass around the license plate so Godzilla could sit on it and close it.
Then the only reason to put it on your Lift is to wax it!
By the way, I will also cut out the left side of the dash for your knee if you want. IF it takes new leather I will get it and also move the gauges back or anyway you might like them!
My very sincere apology's for your troubles.

PS Nothing would make me happier than to see you Happy with that profound Cobra!
One more thing, remember I also told you that we always had some type of glitch with every Cobra we made.... Well George Lamb had one too! He fired up his car in the shop, moved it out side and lined it up to the trailer. Turned it off and got out....minutes later he jumped back in to move it and the &%^&$# was absolutely Dead! Tracked it down to the ignition switch where a wire had not been pushed on until it "clicked!" Fixed that and he was on his way! Always
something!
