Not Ranked
Jeff,
Shows how much attention I pay to the hot rod industry. Didn't know they had gone TU before. I retract my assurances based on financial strength.
I do think that if Don gets a fighting chance at Image, the car he's producing will be very welcome in the market.
NRP/MN,
I'm well aware of how Peter did his bodies. I had one. Yours is about 1 to 2 years older than mine. (note # in my byline) Nice as they are, I still spent 15K fixing what he DIDN'T do right and putting a Concours quality finish on the car. I also scrapped his junky seats, steering wheel and crappy stainless bumpers in favor of OEM type pieces.
I also argued with the dummy about putting the door latches on upside down! The silly A$$ told me they wouldn't stay closed mounted right side up!
My comment on FFR's body stands. Crash parts? OK. Other wise it isn't good for anything without the internals. Worth less with out doors, hood and trunk lid. Any crash serious enough to wrinkle up the nose or rear quarters beyond the abilities of an expert fiber glass repair shop, is going to take out the hinged parts too.
I just don't want to see someone new to Cobra replicas, think they can make a car out of it.
I also want to see Don get a fair shake with the superb new car Image is putting out.
BTW, Don has fixed most of the little buggaboos that Contemporary had.
