Here's my two cents.
I, like everyone else looked and priced several Cobra companies and kits looking for the best quality for the money I could afford to spend. I originally looked at RUCC but they were slightly higher priced then the Shell Valley, Lonestars, and FFR's I was considering, so I set them aside. Later I came acrossed an RUCC kit I could pick up used from a gentleman who had purchased it and was unable to finish it. It was barley started on and was pretty well complete. Well we worked out a deal, he delivered the kit and I have been working on it for almost a year (I am slow). Bottom line I think it is a great kit! If I had to do it over again the RUCC kit would be my fist pick. The backbone chassis is great, the body is great. This is my first kit, and I have never done this before and so far I have not run into one issue, everything fits up well, it's well thought out and I have to think if I can put this together with out any issues then anyone can. Yes roger can be tough to get a hold of, but I have been dealing with him for over a year and a half calling with questions, getting additional options for my kit ect.. I may not get a hold of him right away, but he always returns my calls and gets me the info I need. I did not buy this kit directly from him as I bought it used, but he has treated me like I was his best customer. He has passed on any new upgrades he has made since my kit was produced and supplied anything needed with out question. I cannot say enough good about my RUCC kit and working with Roger.
My suggestion, request the manuals of the kits you are looking at, check the web for build sites so you can actually see some of the details of the assembly process. There is alot of stuff that will come up when you start to build that you will never think of asking. By reading their manuals and checking out these build sites you will get a good insight on how the kit will go together. There are a lot of good kits out there these days. all are slightly different and everyone has their favorite. If you want e-mail me directly and we can talk in more detail.
