Hey Mike

Long time no talk - hope you are well. I had some questions of Don regarding the car, but I can't call him right now as I'm on the road. I thought maybe you might interested in taking a crack at them, as most of them are probably questions most potential customers might have. Don, if you're tracking this thread, I will follow up with you the last week in June when I'm back in the country. Mike, I'm asking a lot of questions that might need a detailed response, so if you can't answer them or it takes a few days, no worries.

Here are my questions:

I'm an ex university football player, and stand about 6'3" and 275lbs (working on this, but doubt I will ever get down to anything close to 200). As well. I've got a long torso relative to my legs (my inseam is 34"), so I'm a little worried about my forehead sticking up in the windstream. It seems your square tube chassis might be a little better suited to me, though the traditionalist in me prefers a round tube frame.

I might be interested in purchasing a runner sans paint. One of my father's best friends is a body shop guy and a classic car restorer. He has painted several show cars and countless classic car restorations, including several award winners. He has also painted a couple of Cobra kits in the past and has offered to paint it at a substantial discount, somewhat less than your quote. Could we work out something out here?

Some simpler questions:

How true to the original Shelby Cobra is your body?
How much does your car weigh on the street with a small block ford?
Again though I'm a traditionalist, I love what you did with your EVO4 for the Pennsylvania show interior-wise. What kind of premium would you need if you were to reproduce that? I probably would still lean to a traditional interior, but there is someting about the way your interpretation looks.
Are you building a reasonable stockpile of spares? For example, if I have a fender-bender, can you courier me trim parts and the like next day or within a few days?
