    Wink Re: Newbie about to attempt a LB build.....

    Hello to all
    Reading this few last posts I feel to add my 2 cts;
    We are talking for both kits, of REPLICAS !!! so none of those can be judged more or less matching to the real deal !!!
    Both are tubes chassis with fiberglass center spider so ..... how one can say this one is more accurate than another ? uprights ? does the Hawk rear uprights match to the original ones ? LB are not similar but they are in the same idea with far better modern tecnology and cheap components to replace ( hubs and bearings )
    Front uprights ; yes hawk have somethoing similar to the old one but if asked to Craig it's completly possible to fit 125/132 fiat ones with no issue at all
    Etc ETc ETC So both of these are Replica an not "RECREATIONS"!!!!
    So why this need to compare these 2 suppliers ?
    they are present on the market and probably as usual in this auto sport field the only usefull criteria for anyone dreaming into a built is to meet both of the heads of company have a talk then following their personal feeling about these men they will choice .
    Both of these suppliers probably do a lot of work and it's a real opportunity to have them doing different tecnology or customer approach so every one can do personnal choice an then do an friendly competition when cars are built
    Vince there did a hudge work on his car trying to match as much as possible the real deal OK !!! but who knows may be some one in a period of monthes will also show an LB fabricated with same spirit ?
    When I will watch from my eyes really these 600 kits I will be very impressed OK but where they are , where can we read build logs ? and did this number have help this supplier to improve his bodywork fitment ? From what I was reading in some built threads this part of built is not so easy???
    So being cool and observative is best ; 2 suppliers in Stratos world is valuable and nice and let's every one of these mens work and have good time and normal profit with their work
    On Gt 40 replica field there are about 3 to 4 suppliers ( may be more with bodywork and chassis kits to weld suppliers ) and all of them lives happy ; the only diff is again the feeling you have when you
    meetface to face workshops owners and the amount of trust you will leave them
    Amen !!
    Live cool and build in peace watever kit you choice !!!
