I have not secured my kit(notice I use the term kit) as yet, but decided to build a 16x20 shop inside my warehouse so I have a good place to transform the metal and fiberglass into the Magical Beast .
A friend came by and asked what I was building the shop for? I said I'm going to build a Cobra! his response: A real one or a kit? The question puzzled me I didn't know whether to make fun of him or educate him a little. I opted for education.
I explained that my name wasn't Carol and we wern't in 1967 so I couln't build a real one but rather a REPLICA maybe not an exacting but a good facsimile. Then I proceeded to tell him in my opinion Kit car
is a very broad term that includes a number of different types of cars, ie. rebody's,ground ups,custom frames, donor cars ect.
I think the general perception of the term KIT CAR is not a good one but with a little education people will understand the differences in build level because as stated before there is a lot of poor quality cobbled together crap out there giving a good industry a bad name.
