If you build it (and build it right), they will come.

Trust me.......Fran does NOT need the "working capital" to do this. He recently disposed of a rather expensive automobile and has been looking for others in addition to one he has recently purchased. Now if it were me doing the wheels I would likely need "opium" (Other Peoples Money) but that is not the case here. Say what you want about Fran, he is "special" but he is straight up to deal with.
He has owned a lot of Cobras, some GT40s and a Kar Kraft MK IV.

He is just tired of wannbees saying "yeah, I want some" and then disappearing when the pony-up time comes. I have had the same experience with reproducing parts.....everyone wants them until it is time to buy.......................
