Angry And in less than 3,000 miles to boot!

She was only taken to 80 mph twice and most of the miles on her were cruising at 45 mph or less. No racing at all, except a few times when I put my foot in there for a second or two, after 2,000 + miles.

If the rest of the car was built correctly by West Coast Cobras (Vern Redel) then I would have guessed it to be a defective tie rod.. but at this point with all the other shoddy work performed on this car I pretty much KNOW who the culprit is. And he will no more honor his written warranty on this defect than he will for his defective clutch and motor work.

If anyone has a clue what to look for it will make my parts guy's job easier.. we are going to pull it and try to ID the rod next week.

Hey HIQ:

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my grandfather did- In his sleep not screaming like the other passengers in his car.
Did WCC build your dad's car??
