Downshift1



Your initial questionable first time post was April/2, and here you are again over 7 months later??? It’s clearly evident that you don’t spend much time in our industry.



You say here that you have seen another 2 dozen posts on multiple forums stating the same problems. Could you be any more full of it? HDR has over 40 custom cars out there, 26 of which are production built Cobras, and 2 factory prototypes which were sold as is, and as also stated earlier in another post, were not even close to the original production models design. So far of all the production cars, race cars and hot rods produced by the original HDR, yours and one prototype have had minor issues. So, we invite any HDR Cobra owners to call us immediately with any issues they may be experiencing. Of course given the source, we wont hold our collective breath.



Engine Failure? The only engine failure on HDR books old or new, or heard from by any former HDR client is from a car that went to Canada prior to the company move to PA. However that engine was built by a major professional engine shop who is based in CA and who was contracted to build all HDR engines for their last 2 yrs in business. I wont display that companies name here, but they did make 100% good on that engine. Before that, according to production records and receipts, all HDR cobra engines were outsourced accept for one in 2001 which is still running hard in a car from LI, NY.



As to the website questions from other posters; the old website remains because we are still unable to locate the webmaster who built it for the pass words ect. A new website, along with an industry wide press release concerning the new company is forthcoming



The building in Powell Wyoming which everyone knows was HDR’s last location. The company was started out west, and was purchased and moved to PA last August.



Since our last little banter, I have taken the time to again wade through what little negative HDR news there is archived on this site. I saw nothing new, and nothing from our initial research into the company a year ago that didn’t look contrived, always unsubstantiated and or seriously one sided. Not to mention that every-time something came up, there were HDR clients right there to voice against the charges. So, maybe, its time to move your personal battles into another venue, and leave our industry to those who respect it.



Sincerely
