About three years ago I was at a big car show and saw a nice older B&B. I had just ordered one and knew the dash layout pretty well. I was kind of excited to see a B&B in Utah as it was the first I had seen in person. Just to confrim I asked the owner what brand it was. He said it was a Shelby Cobra. I told him it sure looked like a B&B as I had just ordered one. He then proceeded to tell me how it was a B&B body on an original Shelby frame and how Shelby had bought bodies from B&B for awhile. I could see the car had Mustang A arms.
This last summer I saw the same car at a small city car show. I talked to the guy that owned it who was a new owner, not the guy I talked to before. When I approached the car I said, oh you have a B&B. He responded the with same story the previous owner told me and seemed offended at my comment. I didn't tell him I had just finished building one.

Either he got took on the car or really doesn't know Cobras. Some guys really carry this pretend thing way to far.
