Calling a specific Replica junk is probably a bad idea HOWEVER I think it's safe to say that there have been MANY poor manufacturers. Companies that have taken advantage of consumers by using shady practices and/or not delivering kits or parts for kits. Many owners have been able to take these kits and turn them into fabulous Autos and that in spite of the lack of help or support or even criminal behavior by the originating Company. Most if not all of these companies have not lasted but then they were just in it for a quick buck anyway. (And most seemed to be in Florida)
