Hi Allan thank you for the reply of my thoughts well taken, "Its is much apreceiated" I know it would be nice to see a SPF at $36000 Cdn in Canada, Iam sure you would swamped with sales,

Allan I totaly agree with you on the highest quality/parts that the Spf utilises, again I have looked very closley at the spf underneath, and all creveces that I could get to, This is a 100% well thought out car, no dought an industry leader in my opinion! that other mfg"s will have to strive very hard to even try to come close to the Spf quality, They may have set a new standard to go buy,
And possibly you may see myself some day at your shop to order a Spf or talk cobra, I have never stated the spf is a bad deal at $57000cdn I was just stating that "I" have a problem justifing the cost, to myself!

Regarding the whats involved in mfg a cobra, yes I do not find it that much of a hard road to go if you will" If I really wanted to pursue it, I am sure I will not be pursuing a venture like this as I do not have the time in life and as i am "getting older" i truly apreceiate my time
to enjoy life, "most" cobra replicas chassis/bodies have been copied from one and another and then possibly improved upon
thus the many different chassis configurations we see from all the mfg"s out there.

I was saying in a post i think it was on this forum? I used to race/build unlimited latemodel stockcars back in the 80"s those days there were CSC ( Canadian stock car products) witch I understand is still kicking, Junior Hanley witch puts out a #1 race stockcar chassis latemodel, B&M racing(Bert MColl) retired butMike his son is at the healm and doing a great job of mfg chassis/cars for the stockcar guy"s now these chassis are much more advanced than the cobra configuration,

The cobra chassis is really a pretty basic configuration compared to some of these race chassis setups but both require your homework if you are looking to mfg for the speed/handling /saftey that a true high performance car must have,sure you will see some new suspenion leaps/changes from a few mfg"s I honestly question myself how many
of these cobra mfg"s truly understand completely all their chassis
geometry I will stick out my thoughts and say very very few of them! with the exception of the hard core race shops that are mfg
them, so yes i have a little background and oh yes i was taught and certified by Professer Duke Southerd,Professer of advanced automotive race car suspention/design systems,I think Duke may have passed on now, as someone was telling me, but he was a great teacher one of the best.

I do agree also there are alot of "shakey" mfg going on out there, that i have seen, that scares the *ell out of me!

So indeed I will just possibly someday by a kit or turnkey minus or
prebuilt or used cobra time will tell,

Thanks Allan you sound like a great helpfull guy
