Club Cobra has a A&C owners forum. Check it out and ask a few of the guys how the quality and customer service has been. While it's not the 55 model and mostly Cobra related I'm sure they can give you a feel for the company itself. The A&C forum there has many active topics which is a good sign. A bud of mine just built a A&C Cobra and he's been pleased overall with the kit itself. I think he was able to purchase things as he built. Frame, suspension, interior, body etc.... www.clubcobra.com
