I've built a couple of the "alleged" kit car Cobra's. I guess you could pull all the pieces out of the box and bolt it together but I just don' know of a lot of Hot Rodders that can leave the pieces alone!!!! I know I can't..... A nip here, a tuck there, maybe changing a few brackets, different look on the interior, just got to be tweaking all those components. As far as classifying it as a kit, the clowns that do it for the most part probably couldn't even change a headlight by themselves, let alone assemble anything, be it as manufactured by a company or fabricated piece by piece.....

The kit car has made it possible for a lot of folks who don't have a lot of time or the tools and equipment to fab all their own pieces to get involved in Hot Rodding. No two of them ever seem to come out the same anyway. IMO, that's what it's all about, getting more people involved... As for the no-minds who think it's a bolt together deal, well sometimes ignorance is bliss....
