Johnex- What Happen?

Anyone know what happened to jihnex cobras. Also, I heard that someone from johnex has started their own shop? Can anyone confirm this. And if so, anyone have contact numbers?

Ahem! Hemhem, visit this site. I think they have taken over Johnex's frames, molds and construction.

I hope they keep it going because the johnex chassis was a good one and it would be nice to see continued production and development.

You are correct. These people did take over the Johnex line and the chassis and body is unchanged. One way or another, I think you will see this particular product continue. It's too good to let go.

I don't suppose that anyone knows the prices. Are they similar to the old Johnex Cobra. The web site is kind of thin.

Drive over to their shop; it's on Mississauga Rd just a little north of 407; it's almost across the road from the Lion Head golf course.
Should take you no more than 20 minutes to drive there.
I believe CSC still manufacture the frames, so there're similar to the old Johnex.

You should call them to set something up before you go. The last time I dropped in, the only person there was John Smythe of Heritage Coach Trimming. He shares the shop with KMC. If you're interested, I can e-mail you some contact info.

Anyone know if KMC is still around ? Location ? Phone # ?
apparently I just acquired a Johnex 289 kit and chassis so I want to look into it
further
thanks
