Hi,
I have a Shell Valley. I got the body and frame in sept '95. It was very exiting to get it from the factory and bring it home. Unfortunately alot of things needed extra work; rear frame brace 2" too low,top rear shock mount 2" too high, rear trunk frame 3/4" crooked, and about 15 more small items to make my hair greyer than it is. Having said that, it is a joy to own now that all the bugs are ironed out. One of our club members built a FF5 last year and had body fit problems. I guess you take your chances on an unassembled kit. The professional builders may just fix things like this as part of their assembly process, they have to earn their money for more than just bolting things together,anybody can do that. So I figure I saved 15 to 20 grand over the cost of an assembled cobra, it was still fun building it myself.
