Beware West Coast cobras/Vern Redel

I know I've cost the man more money than he's made, but he still graciously responds to every request. Yes, sometimes it takes a day, or occasionally a week, but he always responds.

I can't say anything bad about the man...he has treated me well. I'm not discounting your experience; just sharing my own.

I have been following this thread, and frankly I have to echo your sentiments. I just recently purchased a WC Cobra (not from Vern) and have pounded him with time consuming questions as well as flown up to Canada and imposed on his personal and work time. He's returned my calls in as timely a manner as his schedule permits and has been extemely helpful. HE HASN'T MADE A NICKEL OFF OF ME IN THE PROCESS, yet he's been patient, responsive and informative regarding issues that I was looking to address, (since this is one of his earliest kit cars). With all due respect, and in fairness to Vern and his organization, this THREAD TITLE has not been representative nor characteristic of MY dealings with West Coast Cobra, Vern and staff. I have spoken with numerous other WC Cobra owners and their opinions of WC Cobra's car design, build and Vern are also stellar. We recognize that there are always two sides to a story and sometimes both parties coincidentally have a bad day and frustations become even more exaggerated. This group are all car and Cobra buffs, and everybody wants to see Back-in-Black get his Cobra up and out on the road. I genuinely hope that Back-in-Black gets his machine and issues with Vern, Back-on-Track and puts an end to a thread that is not in any way indicative of what I have seen with West Coast Cobra. Good Luck with it.
