I've been having a pm exchange with him and can tell you with confidence that there was no attempt at deception in regards to the MKII/MKIII thing. This guy truly has no idea what he is/was working on. I believe that he is feeling a bit lost now that he knows that we were telling him the truth in regards to him having a MKII. I also think he is now clear that the whole rebody thing is dangerous territory unless you really know the differences. Of course, none of that excuses the photo use or behavior.

It's really sad just how little they know about the industry as a whole. He told me that there is an area of the shop closed off for secret work that probably involves "Mr. Shelby himself". Really sad.

He claims that he will have the MKIV kit in hand in a few weeks, so I'm gathering from that he hasn't actually begun work on the new body, but we'll see what unfolds in the future. I truly hope that someday someone spots a nice alloy bodied MKIV at a car show in FL.

There are some smart people on this forum and I would speculate that a good 90% plus knew from the beginning who this guy was. Be aware, he is out and about on several forums by differing names like Greasy Thumb Jake and another that I'll not name until I know for sure.
