this is Bryan Anderson from B&B manufacturing, I started L.A. exotics back in the late 70's and sold the company in 1995 it was not sold to NW exotics it was sold to a guy by the name of chun tam, he failed to pay me and many other vendors so i was forced to take legal action and I shut him down, I then started up B&b manufacturing here in Missouri you can see may of the L.A exotics cars On my website at
www.bandbroadster.com they are in looks the same car what we did do was stop using any of the junk yard parts that was very common in those days and have gone to all new tubular front ends and tubular rear trailing arms all adjustable coil over shocks we run nothing but the 9" rear and got away from the small 8.8 rear ends. I hope this will help a little.
