blykins,
Until you go through the growing pains of building a cobra you will never understand this thread
. Rework puts projects behind schedule, over budget and demises dreams. However I have been in the aircraft and now rocket launch vehicle industry for 30 years. I have served and completed a Pattern Maker, Tool and Die, and Machinist apprenticeship which should quality me as a “Systems Matter Expert” (SME)
. I have also owned a chopper shop where I built and design choppers for customers that had some wild dreams. This was a losing battle due to EBay and internet however my quality was there due to word of mouth and not by a popular web site. I am now a senior manage over a fabrication division that protects America from foreign aggression.
My heart ache started back in 1991 when I bought a Classic Motors Company (CMC) cobra and found out the hard way on scams / non deliverables. This was a time in my life where I was bring up three kids, a wife, house payment, and car payment,,, the american way,,, loving life, funds were short
.
Eighteen years later I am still working / pouring money into this project because of people / companies took advantage of others by not standing by their product. So to summarize this issue; if you want to start and sell products to the public you need to be very aware of “word of mouth” syndrome. I am ashamed of my response to Shell Valley on the name calling but I was every upset,,, there goes other $1000.00,,,
decisions, decisions,, should I just burn this car and stop pouring money into it or should I try and finish my dream? I want to finish my dream however if I pay the market price for hardware, I expect a quality product that will not set me back another $1000.00 enough is enough. People need to know what is out there and companies that produce an inferred product that does not meet the, FIT, FORM and FUNCTION. They need to change their ways or close up and go home. Do not cover your ass because you want to make it right just make it right by supplying a quality product to the public so I don’t have to spend my Friday night explaining.
Sorry it had to be said!!!!!!!!!
