John,

I think the kit car business is really difficult to make a profit in.

The Cobra market is small and the Cheetah market must be tiny.

With that said, maybe you could sell just a body and frame on an as ordered basis. Take a deposit and then have your two suppliers make the pieces.

I came across a need for my Cobra. It was polyurethane motor mounts for an ERA. They are not available. I made up a single use mold to make a pair for my use. Then posted here and offered to sell some. It would require a mold that was good for several shots. About 10 people said count me in.

When the molds were complete I made up 2 extra pairs of motor mounts. Only 1 buyer stepped up and he wasn't one of the 10.

John
