O dear,
By no means it is my intention to critisize Gary or Mike or others. The changes I make are my own choice. Just like the concept intended to be. I bought the body kit for a very low price and you can't expect it to be perfect. I really love the concept of a 50's racer. Inspired, instead of a replica. For me, that is worth gold. Combined with the usage of the body replacement strategy. We have to thank Gary for that.
The good thing is that it is affordable for many. And everyone has a choice to go for either Overspraying or Overengineering
On the way I decided to achieve a more high quality result. That means you have to change some to get there. That's true. It is my impression that there are more builders that go for a quality build. There are lots of examples on this forum today!
It is good that Ribble has made improvements and I think they should ask more money so that they can survive.
I really respect the fast builds as well. Somehow these cars look good anyway.
