Robert - sorry for coming across sounding overly critical and denigrating of the brand. My peeve is not with Contemporary replicas or the fine folks who own them, just with the enduring myth about the visual accuracy of the later, post-alteration cars. The alterations to the body shape are distinctive and the whole thing is well documented in other threads. I have to say that this only matters to those who are obsessed with the shape - most others wouldn't notice or care.
Contemporary replicas are for the most part well engineered, high quality cars built by owners who tend to value details and quality. I just wish they had left the original shape, fenders, wheel openings, etc. alone.
