Wow,
I can't believe that someone builds a worse or more unsafe car than my builder does.
Sounds like my car times two. Had very similar problems when mine was "Finished" & took delivery.
Everything from the steering column brackets inclusive to the steering rack & tie rod ends were LOOSE!!! This on a vehicle that was delivered with a SAFTEY CERTIFICATE verifying it had been inspected & approved by a licensed mechanic (builders signature on certificate). I won't even mention the loose fuel line or all the shifter linkage bushings missing etc. etc. etc. etc.
Darn!! I said I wouldn't mention that.
I could go on forever but will not as I have decided to get on with it & fix/finish all unsatisfactory workmanship ( being somewhat generous using that term in this particular case) myself. At least that way I will not be endagering my grand childrens lives when they go for a ride with Poppa.

Sigh
Today is an anniversary of sorts. Exactly 3 years ago today I signed a contract with Dary Holliday Motorsports, in Huntsville, TX to build a Cobra replica. (I am the "other gentleman" refered to in Rich Lihou's comments).
The car was promised "in 8 months to a year". Now, three years later, promised delivery dates have come and gone, I have retained an attorney to sue for breach of contract, and still do not have a firm completion date. If and when I do take delivery, it will be with some reservation. Rich Lihou's car was rife with problems, including "metal shavings and grit in the oil" which necessitated a complete engine rebuild. This is from a man who professes to be a "Cobra expert". I tell people that I have made two major mistakes in my life; one was getting involved with my ex-wife and the other was getting involved with Daryl Holliday Motorsports. This situation could not be more ridiculous. I don't want the hassle of a lawsuit, I want the car I paid for three years ago, but the ball is now in Mr. Holliday's court. (No pun intended).
