Hopefully, we can all get together as a family again soon. I'll bring the Stella.

Agreed! My son and I really missed Homecoming this year! It is so good to get together with everyone each year. That is one reason it seems like an extended family

... good friends, good food, good times!

has anyone suggested looking at Lone Star.

The wheelbase is 4" longer and the doors and interior are 4" longer. With the correct steering wheel and pedal set up a big guy can fit easily.

Attention has to be paid to the angle of the windshield to keep the drivers eyes below the windshield frame. Also a seat mounted as low as possible.

We had a great big guy in our group that made his FFR fit his 6'5" frame.

I understand that Lone Star is no longer in business and that their assets were acquired by Ultimate Classic Cars. UCC offers those same extended dimensions.

Correct. Lone Star went out of business and it’s assets were purchased by UCC. The UCC Cobra has the same 94” wheelbase, but many improvements to the body and chassis.
