Companies exist to make a profit but that doesn't mean they are trying to take advantage of people or lie, cheat and steal to make a profit. There have been those that do but I believe it is the minority in this hobby, not the majority. If you are that unhappy, take the loss, sell your car and go find a new hobby.

I did sell it.I didn't have the car as a hobby i built it because you could piece everything together and was planning on driving it.All of the welding
and fitting involved in putting it together tends to be more work then
these companies let on,they tend to exaggerate on the time involved in building them.I wouldn't weld stainless steel that is exposed etc.
Most people call these fun or is suppossed to be fun.Maybe driving them is fun but building them couldn't be.If four people were on it all at one time you might build one in 100 hours or so.This Kirkham Motorsports told me they built one for
charity and had four people on it at one time and it was completed in a
reasonable length of time.One person i don't think could build one completely
from the frame by themselves in 100 hours to completion.I seen where they built a Factory Five Cobra but there was five people on it or so at one time.
It was a Factory Five building school or something where they showed people
how to build one.Not only do they exaggerate about the build time but they also exaggerate about the money it takes to put one together.As far as
building or buying another Cobra Kit Car it is highly doubtful.
