Dude, I feel your pain. I say 'keep the faith,' and one day you'll have your Cobra. There are many stories of companies that restructured and came back stronger and better than before.

Take, for instance, CMC. They spent years doing the same thing the same way, and then the shut down to restructure and ... err ... well, they left all the guys who had partial kits high and dry. And they kind of didn't bother to return the money of people who had put money down on kits that didn't exist.

Hmm... Maybe that wasn't the best story. Let's go with the legendary Cobra replica company L.A. Exotics. They restructured and ... well ... emptied their facility out over a weekend and disappeared.

Okay, my bad. Let's go with House of Cobras. At least when they restructured and shut down they didn't immediately disappear.

Okay, okay...let's go with the strong comeback made by Ck3 they ... well ... maybe not.

How about D&D Corvette? They restructured and ... no, wait, the owner was arrested ...

Hmm...

Y'know ... maybe - just maybe - you might want to look at any one of the other 60 manufacturers who make Cobra replicas.

I'm just sayin'...

Your pal,
Meat.
