Hey everyone, Some of you know me for my Dragon cars that I have been building since 2001. Recently I began marketing a Cobra replica based on C5/6 suspension.
I am now well into my 50's and I am falling apart!!! I was hit at the knees by a run a way car and rammed full throttle into the bumber of a parked truck a number of years ago. I had 5 surgeries over a couple of years to walk. That knee has finally worn out and I need a replacement. I also injured my shoulder last year and I have been told I need surgery to repair that. But, my biggest problem is that I am having complications from diabetes. I can not have the needed surgeries until I get my blood sugar under control.
So, reluctantly I am having to take a break from building cars. I am finishing a couple right now but that will be it for at least a while. I know that there will be some that speculate that the real reason is the economy. But, I do my cars for fun, I make my living from products that I have invented and license or have manufactured and sold.
I appreciate the support from my customers and from this forum. I will continue to be here as I plan to drive my Dragon and Cobra as much as possible this summer. See you down the road! John
