Buzz,

Sorry for not posting earlier, but I just saw this thread. By the way, that first Robnell picture you posted is my car...

I though I had all the pictures of my car, but from time to time, someone posts a new one I've never seen. Thanks

My interior is slightly different from the traditional Robnell. It's a slightly modified SC interior. I have all the gauges and the steering wheel cutout is larger to support the turn signals and it's covered in leather. And I had them also put in a glove box.

Here's a link to the picture in the gallery, not the best qualify...

Robnell Interior View

I have to say, I've been most satisfied with my Robnell. The fit and finish is quite unbelievable and every component is of top quality. As Buzz has stated, the body is primarily kevlar with fiberglass. I also have anti-lock brakes with a override in the cockpit for those track days. I believe all suspension components are manufactured by Robnell specifically for their car. Even the differential is manufactured by Robnell. The differential internals are all Ford 9". The brakes are 13" slotted rotors all round with AP calipers. Theirs a manual inline booster for the brakes. Vacume is not required. The wheels are true knock-offs. There are no adapters. There are front/rear anti-sway bars. All shocks are Koni adjustables (12 positions for compression/9 positions for rebound). All suspension bolts up front are wired so they can't back out. The front wheel wells can be removed with 6 bolts to facilitate working on the suspension. And it has a heater. Air conditioning is optional...really... The seats I have also have headrests built in. The seats are on rails so they can be adjusted and they come with 4-point Williams harnesses. I better stop here, because I'm rambling...

I'm in California, maybe we can meet up some day.
