I think SMC was originally headed by the father of Bryan Anderson of LA Exotics/B&B Cobras. According to the famous December 1991 Car & Driver Cobra replica article by Patrick Bedard, Bryan fell out with and split from his dad because the older Anderson stood by higher quality engineering and quality standards which Bryan apparently thought was "a bunch of hooey." (loose quote from the article). Though I know little about the SMC cars themselves, that always implied to me that the cars built under the leadership of Anderson senior were of a higher quality than the LAE and B&B replicas that Bryan went on to build. Editor Bedard wasn't very kind to Bryan and wrote that his approach was less like engineering and more akin to "blacksmithing"
I'd be curious to see some pics and learn more about the Anderson (senior) -era SMC Cobras.
