TC;

Thanks, I'm on the boards www.spyderclub.com and www.spyderowners.com also. They are very small sites and the activity is slow there are only about a dozen folks the will "play" the rest seem to just hang out and look, not like here, that’s for sure.

I'll still be reading, posting and keeping my friends and others informed. I do nudge them once and a while, just because that’s what a curmudgeon does.

I still love the Cobra and always will, if I can get this business off the ground, you bet I’ll have a Cobra Replica too. ERA, Unique, Kirkham, MidStates, Hmmmm, this is going to be fun.

I would like to get a few of these Spyders on the road. These little Spyders, are fun, quick and nimble. By-the-by... We can make an aluminum body but we leave the bargain category at that point we also leave the value model I'm working to. I will be looking at that though. Aluminum bodies for the Spyder, could be someday soon, or not.


Chuck Beck has announced he or his company will be building an aluminum body, but if they put it on the existing frame it will not be a performer, that is in my own never to be humble opinion.


The best part of this whole thing is the McRae Spyder is built by a real life Formula 1, Formula 5000 Champion, engineer, Car Designer. This is a real well thought out car. Fit and finish seems to be equal to the better Cobra makers. These little monsters will go on the road for less than $31,000. That’s for a screamer!

Thanks also for your kind words and thoughts. Be Well.
