Wrenn, think about this. $50,000 or so for molds and then you need to outfit and stock a fiberglass shop, another $50,000. Then another $50,000 worth of parts and purchasing WD deals with your 30-40 vendors to get their price right, then at least 1,000 man hours to figure out the first one. At 40 hours a week, that is two years of assembly labor that has to be paid for, not counting the additional R&D labor, sales and marketing labor, and someone on the phone taking calls, which is a full time job by itself. This is all assuming you already have a facility and tooling. If not, add some more money. Spending a quarter million dollars or more to go into the replica business seems the long way around to come out with a free car.
Steve Temple, editor of Reincarnation Magazine (formerly Carbuilder Magazine) called me yesterday and asked if he had my permission to return your call and give you my name as the legit builder that they would recommend. I told him yes.
