Ok Richard, I “just changed a few things from the original design”? If that’s what makes you feel good, you can believe that. But you are mistaken regarding engine type. The cylinder heads caused a little fitment issue but it’s still just a 302. And yes, I know I am a special case.

Agreed, on the original concept of being easy to build as a race car but as you know a race car and street car are worlds apart. Most of these cars are built for street use and the marriage of body and chassis, in well finished form, is the hardest part of the build. You and I can do it but difficult for the novice, just ask the butcher.

Sorry to hear sales are down enough to temporarily stop production of parts. The continual innovation and develop of the chassis and bits has been exceptional over the years. My car is now an old outdated piece by current specs but still, and without a doubt, the lowest and loudest cobra in the country.

Hope all is well and have a great holiday,

John
