Not Ranked
Let’s do some comparison here and let’s get a perspective on things.
According to John, I can’t provide a description’s of the negative things I have dealt with a seen on Johnex’s cars because John will “GET ME” even thought these are what I have seen and have had to deal with.
John on the other had can say anything positive about his cars to a customer about his product for example: that his chassis is one of the stiffest in the industry, That’s OK
Now let’s say I had signed on under the same circumstances and that I was praising John’s product. Would I have seen the same responses from Club Cobra,? John? Others challenging my postion…..probably not!
Let’s be fair here from this example, OK! lets see the data on the frame rigidity, how has he established this? Has he tested other frames? Has he had the other chassis checked by P. Engineers? What is the basis of a statement?
There should be no less burden of proof on any positive comments!
With that said here is my advise:
Don’t take my word of any of this look for yourself make your own judgement.
Forget about the frame without a body that he shows, yes the frame looks nice but it’s the details that he doesn’t show that matter even more.
Look at his completed cars at shows. Look under the car, what’s that you cant see under it, humm maybe John has something to hide? Ok look in the rear wheel wells look forward to see if the well has been filled with foam and painted. Look to see the fit and finish of the trunk, look to see the fit and finish of the interior. Look to see if the wiring harness it properly tied down. Look to see if the radiator has been riveted down and as such cannot be removed without drilling, look to see if the front of the car body is properly supported, look in the front of the rad opening to see if the side fiberglass pieces are fit and attached properly, is it neat and proper or just pop riveted in?, Look at the fiberglass pieces that close of the inner front inner wheel well. Same comments apply, Look at the headers, what’s that they are rapped, humm what’s under that I wonder? What is hidden under all the heat duct aluminized material on the fire wall. Which buy the way is just housing heat duct material and provide literally Zero heat protection! Look around the foot boxes they will be filled with window foam to seal the engine from the drivers compartment. John couldn’t be bothered to build a proper firewall. Humm a firewall to protect the driver in case there is a fire under the hood of the car? Seems like a good idea to me?
Check under the interior is it stuck to foam, yup. OPEN YOUR EYE’S and look for the details of the car. Then look at the other cars, you too will see the difference. Look at how the doors fit, check the strength of the door hinges. How is the body fastened to the frame, pop riveted to along the rocker panel. Is the body properly support elsewhere? Not on the ones I have seen. How are the side pipes hung under the car? How is the emergency brake system set up. Clean effective and safe? Compare Johnex built cars against other kits compare them against the guys who have personally built a Johnex….
Day and night difference
BUYER BEWARE!!
