Did it really take 14 months to build? How long between when you placed the order and the build started? Are you happy with the fit & finish? Would you do it again?
Love the blue!

Rich,
When I was discussing the build with Carey, he said 6 months. Then Chuck Beck's son came up to implement some upgrades and it ended up taking almost 14 months. However, I waited 18 month for my Kirkham cobra. Of course it came from Poland.
The build started immediately after order. There was one vehicle ahead of mine. First they welded up the chassis, then bonded it to the body as it was laid up in the mold. That was fairly quick. Paint shop and final build is where all the time went. The fit and finish is perfect and it is what Beck is known for. I'm very happy with the body and gaps. There are two minor opportunities on the interior, but they are minor. I would definitely do it again, but this is the seventh reproduction I've owned and one of the best.
AG, I like your style!
