STG, yes they do. My understanding is that they only make one or two a year! Does Kimmons ring a bell?

I'd wait for Kirkham, they are never that far behind. What is their wait time now?

When you find out the pricing from "the other guys", the wait will not seem as long.  |

Re: alloy...
...there is some new, fly-by-night outfit called "AC Cars" that claims to build aluminium cars....
Dunno, never heard of them...

To each their own but...judging from the numerous posts concerning HRD, I wish you the best. The Kirkham family is incredible to deal with, responds to each and every call I've made like I'm family. Seems that might not the same for HRD..... Appears to suffer from real bad service support....again, just reviewing all the reports. You make you're own judgments.
I removed the example I have posted...I would recommend that any one looking to spend that amount of money would conduct the search of previous posts concerning HRD. As everyone knows, there is an enormous amount of Cobra experience on this site. I would offer that when I reviewed their car prior to selecting the Kirkham, I was impressed. I just don't have the time or patience to allow and opportunity to someone what has so much bad press....there are no comparable posts or experiences with the Kirkham family compare...they are just great to deal with. For the workmanship and support you get, my decision was easily (especially when they had a New Years special).
Again, just me .02 cents.
