Post some pics in your gallery. It did look like an exceptional car. Brian Angliss did a great job with them as total factory built cars. Many say better than AC and KMS? This is assuming that most KMS have been left nude. The painted KMS cars I have seen have been very high quality. Problem with KMS cars might be the builder themselves, a great build with great attention to detail will result in a fantastic car and high $ investment. A base KMS build is still better than what I own however falls short with the totally authentic look using aluminum pedal arms, 15" wheel, suspension and other stuff found as standard. Fully optioned really makes a difference.
This is one fine KMS out of the NE which easily compares to AKL standards: (With tubular suspension and great attention to detail)
Or this one done to the nines....
Started with a Kirkham Motorsports rolling chassis with an aluminum body and original style tubular steel frame. Completely stripped car down and rebuilt as an orignal Cobra ground up restoration project using all period correct parts and many parts from original CSX cars. Powered by an NOS 427 Ford Side Oiler engine. All restoration work done by specialists that have worked on original Cobras since the 60s and have restored over 40 originals.
