So I expect Ingo is just like anyone here, show him some respect and he will treat you with respect. Pretty simple, it's called human nature.

I do think real customers have an advantage over some of the keyboard **** slingers here, they actually got up off their ass for a factory visit which shows incentive.

I would like to meet Ingo some day, if for no other reason than to show me how to kick an ass into space so they can google earth.
.

Hey, Thank you and I like that a lot. And finally you gave me the right word I was searching the whole time "Keyboard slingers". A fantastic description.
But as I told you. The future will tell the truths and I will provide next week already some videos how we are manufacturing our Spyders (we are not building) and a sneak peak of our Roadster production (Doesnt exist too..or?)
After this I wish that those "slingers" will be treated as nosy girly people they are. But normally they are not in shame and looking to attack other members.

Anyway, I am out for now so those Keyboard "slingers" have the live time opportunity to post more brainless crap.
For you and other "good sensed" Cobra members I will have some surprises you will really love if you are real cobra loving guys like me. And I will need exactly your help to get critics or ideas for my new project to get it as perfect as possible.

The mean old Ingo

I believe that something is worth only what people are willing to pay. And I'm curious to see if there is such a demand. Aluminum body's is what I make all day long. Mk4

We had 150 Cobras - then we came back to 14. Further there was one - and now we have 3 again.
What is it?

So...Rico Suave next? Or maybe Tony Montana?
Sorry AlloyCars, no intentional disrespect but just too easy on a Sunday afternoon.

RE the question about forming the panels.

I have done a bit of forming in my days and there aren't too many ways to make that large a panel. For panels that large, you are looking at either stretch forming, drop hammer, or hydroforming. Considering the size of their facility, my money is on stretch forming.

It's a shame they are making the prototype with the perky butt.

It was quite clearly stated that the first prototype used a MKIII FFR body complete with perky butt and that a more accurate body is in the works.

Yea I got that. What makes no sense is that the MKII or MKIII frame requires only a very minor modification to lower the rear. Most of the work is moving the trunk sheet metal. All the trouble to make the body you would think they would have spent the 30 minutes to drop the butt.
