There are some brilliant designers, mechanical engineers, even brain surgeons, and then some. Can they all run a successful business, handle the sales end of the business, handle the juggling and scheduling of the business, keep the books, and known when to pay the bills, sadly, no....Covid did not help the situation, but it is certainly not going to be the downfall of the kit car industry, as kit car makers come, and go, and have since the very beginning. Not all due to anything but the owners desire to retire for personal reasons, which if you think about it, you could substitute the words "kit car industry" for any other privately owned manufacturing business or sales oriented business and this post would still apply.

And thus ends the lesson for this evening, as owning and running a successful business is not for everyone.
