Was wondering when you were going to make this public. Congratulations!!!!!

You guys have certainly taken the brunt of the abuse CR has given the Cobra buying public in '91/'92, and again recently. Not to mention the replica car industry as a whole. Now is the time to set things right.

The crime of it all is the CR Cobra is one of the better, if not best in the industry for being a solid product. With a few engineering upgrades, it could be a top-of-the-line car.

I have a completed car with 14,000+ miles on it, so I'm not in the buying or building phase. You've seen my car. (Wood dash, 5" AM instruments in non-OEM location, sidepipe heatshields, luggage rack) We've discussed some of the upgrades I've made. New motor/frame mounts (Ask Pete to bring drawings and mock-ups with him so I don't have to take the ones in the car back out to reproduce them). Coil-over front suspension, tubular control arms, Tom Beroth's upper control arm brackets, 11" Grenada front disk brakes, 10" T-Bird rear disks, power steering that works, redesigned clutch cable linkage using late Mustang aftermarket parts, completely redesigned dash and engine wiring harness with a breaker pannel, Ididit collapsable, tilt steering column, etc., etc.

I'd like to volunteer to be on the Assembly Manual, and Parts Shopping Guide rewrite committee right from the get-go. No charge, obviously. Like so many of us here, I'm an Engineer (Environmental) in real life and do this professionally. (Just finished an end user manual for automatic tank gauging systems for underground storage tanks).

And if there is anything else I can do to help get this off the ground, just ask.
