Tommy,
Is that Lucas Rea's old car?

Scott -
Yes, it was built by Lucas Rea. The car was sold twice before I bought it and I didn't know who built it when I bought it. But I tracked down the builder and Lucas has been very helpful. .. Incidentally, I was first bitten by the Cobra replica bug back in the early 1990s when I read an article in a car magazine about the quickest car they had ever tested. It was an earlier version of the E-M kit with Corvette suspension built by Lucas Rea. As I use my car mostly for autocross and open track events, I was tickled to learn who had built it.

Tommy,
That same article drew me to E-M and eventually to Lucas and Larry Rea. The Rea's have been very helpful. Speaking of quick, back in 1999 and before I built my E-M, I went to Run & Gun to meet the Rea's and gather info for a track car. With your car, Lucas was running 1:07's before the event was canceled. The car had a full cage then, which they cut out and saved up until a couple of weeks ago... and now I've got it.
