Almost exactly 12 years ago I was where you are now and I made the trip to several Cobra Manufacturers and decided on a B&B. My experience back then was a good one and my Cobra was built about as well as one could be at that time. However my best friend, also a B&B Cobra owner, went back to B&B for another project and was promised the moon by Bryan and he didn't deliver. In fact there was a span of 4 months when Bryan wouldn't even talk to him even though he had paid him 100% of the agreed price. This was after Barry had left and we quickly learned the quality and professionalism moved across the street. The Coupe was finally picked up and the workmanship was beyond shoddy. Nothing was as promised and the reconstruction costs have been tremendous. There is more but this may not be the right forum for this kind of response. I just don’t want your dream destroyed by a slick salesman.

Barry McGill has his own company now called McGill’s Street Rods ( www.mcgills-streetrods.com ) and he is making the Cobra's with the same quality and professionalism I remember. I would highly recommend giving Barry a call if you are seriously interested in a Cobra

Again, my B&B was an awesome car but after seeing my buddy fight this last project for years, I think its time to say it like it is.
