Rich,

Wow that sounds like a horror story! While I respect your desire to expose incompetent builders for everyone else to avoid, just make sure (through your own legal counsel) that you are not committing slander by not giving the vendor an appropriate opportunity to attempt satisfactory repairs. Regardless of whether you feel uncomfortable having them touch the car ever again (I can't blame you), the laws in your particular state may favor the vendor more than the consumer.

Good luck with the repairs and getting your Cobra the way it was meant to be.
