Just a friendly FYI..
Before our sick CC friend had a problem with Finishline, they were pretty high up on the totem pole with customer satisfaction and building very capable race cars. They have probably fabricated more performance mods for the 4000 than any other dealer in the chain. On the other hand the have been multiple personal accounts listed here and elsewhere that involve Southern. So I guess I am saying, be a little open minded. Building Cobra's is not a get rich quick scheme and many dealers have found it hard to squeek out a living while paying big rent and salaries to the talented wrenches. In the case of Finishline add in the R&D and prototype machining of chassis components and I think you will get my point. Then add in the delay in Shelby delivery time and you got the whole picture. If our friend didn't get ill, it might have just been another story of a guy buying a car that took too long to get. Most of these projects left in the hands of others take substantially longer than expected but, the good thing and best part is seeing the owners smile on the maiden voyage. That is what it is all about, isn't it?
