Ken,

I am glad that you are looking at B&B's. I really think these cars are the most underrated of the bunch. Their glasswork is second to none. I have seen owners of the "big 2" (factory 5 and Superformance) have their jaws drop when I tell them that my car is not painted (just red gel coat). If you have seen the garish seems on some of the other kits before painting, you'll understand. B&B also makes extensive use of coremat for reinforcement. The seams on my body panels, and the "thunk" of the doors closing are really on par with a production car. The cars also respect the dimensions of the originals (90" wheel base, etc), and just look great. The boxed chassis with the x-member is also very sturdy.

Bryan and Barry are very helpful when you call too. The only downside of buying a B&B, is that there are only about 4 or 5 five these things in any metro area (I think 800 total including LA Exotics and NW Exotics). You may envy watching a group of 30 Factory 5 owners swap tales and tips that don't apply to you. Good luck and have fun!
