Lonestar is not out of business. They are still, reportedly, making Cobra kits. I finished mine about 18 months ago and LOVE it! However, it is a very Do-it-your-own-way kind of kit. The instruction manual is terrible (if you can call it a manual). Basically, you get the parts and decide how you want to put them together - unlike many manufacturers with step-by-step, exact instructions.

The other thing to consider is that Lonestar did recently change ownership. Brian is still there, but is not the controlling owner anymore. Most of their business is now concentrating on producing the Bailey Blade. We have been promised that they will continue to produce the cobra and supply parts. I haven't been out there since they started working on the Blade. So, YMMV.

Again, I love my Lonestar. I enjoyed figuring out how to put it together and getting it done. It was a great sense of accomplishment. Rather than just buying one, I can say, "Yeah, I built that!"
