I think I have some experience that might be worthwhile on this. For years after I opened my first Classic-Restoration shop, I refused to paint anybody else body work, i.e.; Ed, I just did all my own body work but I want your paint work on it. I think I had been in business for about 5 years when a 'retired' body man asked me to paint his truck. I knew he was on a fixed income and had done great work in the past, I agreed, and shall I say the body work was a little less than perfect, It was a truck, it was his truck and he did the work. Not a problem.

I'll bet it was a full six months later that I had heard people were asking him, "who in the world did your truck?" He, the owner didn't lie, he just didn't tell the whole truth. He simply stated "Ed" did it!" I did loose work over that affair, and was never so happy to see anybody move to Florida in my life. Needless to say, to this day I will not paint over someone elses body work.

I think maybe 'daviddalton' might be on track. Registry for "self assembeled" and for KMP assembeled.

Don't get me wrong, I wish I could afford a KMP Cobra. I would love to paint KMP's Cobras, I would love to work on KMP's Cobras. I would, (if possible) buy a KMP 'kit' Cobra.

David, go carefully on this, as I know you will.
