When did cmc go out of business and how was the quality of their cobras

Boy, are you opening a CAN of WORMS..............CMC went out but was resurrected as Innovative Street Machines/Street Beasts.......they have a long, sordid history, mostly coming from unethical sales promises and slow production problems........the kit quality was somewhere around mid range grade....there are several of us here on the forum that have their kits, some from when it was CMC and some from Street Beasts....I think I am possibly the only one that actually started purchasing a kit from CMC, thought I lost my money when they went bankrupt, and was able to get Street Beasts to honor my original contract and complete my purchase......I have been working on my build for about 4 years now and hope to complete it late this year or early next year.....it has been a long and winding road....no pun intended.....hee-hee.

My CMC is has 1995 on the Certificate of Origin. Still in pieces, but getting together slowly.

Mine says 1992...second owner and still in pieces...but not for much longer!

Yeah, CMC will open a can of worms.

I bought my Street Beasts in January and finally got it in June. I actually drove to Miami: 575 miles south of Gum Swamp Georgia. A lot of fears I had were relieved on my visit. Everything I got was good quality.

I had to deal with a couple of missing parts, but they are all here now. I think they "over sell" their building capacity, which makes it take longer than they tell you.

I hope to have mine done by early 2008. It's been too hot in the swamp to do much work, until now.
