I just saw this on another forum.
Turn Ten Racing, Inc. up for sale - Club Cobra
Don't know what's going to happen to the GT40 line.

Also, I sold a MKI body to D&D Cobra for their GT project. I was told by them, thst I was going to be their exclusive supplier for their bodies, then I hear they are casting a mould off the body I sold them. They asked me to supply them with the inner panels to cast moulds off of so they didn't have to cut up the body I sold them. BUT, what can I do? There is no protection in this business. Anyone can cast a mould off any body I make and go into business selling fiberglass bodies. The difference here is; I had permission from the original GT40 body owners to cast moulds off their bodies!

Keith made a comment on another thread "as we all do" or something like that, about me casting a mould. I had posted about casting a mould off Fran Kress's MKIIB tail section while it was in my shop for repair. Also, I sold a MKI body to D&D Cobra for their GT project.

Guys, this isn't the place for an argument without factual information. Mike has his business up for sale, that is public knowledge, and he is trying to spread the word about that. I'll move the relevant portion of his post to the general forum. Not sure why this was in the Consumer Watch in the first place unless the original poster had a concern with the manufactuer cited, which I don't think was the case.
