Hello Speedracer,

This happend a few months ago and Insurance company has totaled the SPF. The factors were repair the Fiberglass, straighten the frame, R&R any broken items etc. The cost of the repairs vs a new roller from SPF dictated a new roller.

The replica Cobras with the Fiberglass bodies are similar to the Corvette in that a bump will result in substancial damage and repair costs. The analogy I have heard in the past was comparing the fiberglass body to an egg, the point of inpact imparts the force of the blow to the entire structure and results in a large number of cracks.

Best Regards,

Tony R.
