street beasts kit car

I've resently took possession of my kit i've been paying on for a few years like a dummy no research of this company was done over 11000 spent and about 75 % of the kit received now not able to reach them last time i talked to them they where closing there doors dec 31 2010 does anyone have a suggestion  

yarddog1 1st off welcome to the forum. I was'nt aware that they were going out of business. Are you sure they are'nt being bought out or something. There website is up & running I just checked it out of curriousity after reading your post. What kit did you buy? I hope they are'nt out of business for your sake. Good luck. Happy hunting. Keep us posted. I check out the forum every couple of days atleast.   3836bbl/Budnicks

Thanks for your kind words 3836bbl/Budnicks i reseived a letter stating the where closing the first of the year wanting me to finalize payments so i did and drove to miami and picked up my car fealing nervice that i was going to loose 12 grand got body frame and interior but told some vital peices were on back order and i guess they still are i've yet to receive them can't reach no one there by phone mail or email i'm getting the fealing i've lost several dollars in parts. yarddog1  

yarddog1 what kit or body/frame style did you purchase? I'm feeling your pain, that would suck I've been in your possision before. Just be dillegent in trying to contact them if the web site is up, they are still wanting to sell parts or recieve orders & rip people off. I HOPE NOT. I don't know the company other than the web site I looked at after reading your post. Keep us updated on your progress. Good luck.  3836bbl/Budnicks

3836bb|/Budnicks it's a 66 cobra stretch with a square frame we call and email about every other day still no responce as of today.thanks yarddog 1  

What parts are you missing? can you make your own? & still continue the project? What stage is the car in now? Are the parts available elsewere? I would drive there & confront the guy take some parts, even if they aren't for your car get something for the money. Mechanics liens are costly in the long run lawyer charge like $250 per motion Or $100 every time you need to renew your lien, the only person that benifits is the lawyers. Get proactive don't let the guy rest. If the guy is living at his parents house, pressure them, they will pressure him in the long run. If another company makes a part simular to what you need buy it, modify it, that's the nature of the BEAST no-pun intended. Don't let the guy win, keep the project going how ever you need to. Good luck, happy mortoring.   3836bbl/Budnicks

Well where do i start there is to many parts to mention but just a few are windsheild assy seat foam lights bumpers hood handles door handles seat slides and on and on . not sure if any other company makes any parts that will fit i didn't want to buy from another then receive the right ones but as of today now all phone number are disconnected and website i think is off line now i'm so frustrated i'm in arkansas there in miami so i can't just drive accros town and kick some a people told me but i guess i'm to much of a sucker i try trusting every body till i get burned i thought they were reputable i just didn't know it was a bad rep the car has not been started yet it's still crated i wanted to gather all the peices first motor tranny and so on.yarddog1  

yarddog1 you know when you build a "kit car" you have to hand fab a number of parts almost allways, you may have to modify some parts but there are something like 200 mfgs. of the Cobra someone has to hav something that will work if you can't build your own just do some research, see who has what parts, who makes what parts you need. 1/2 the fun of building a kit car is the hunt for parts & installation/modification of said parts. I would start putting it together & see where it leads you. Good luck.   3836bbl/Budnicks

Had similar problem with Classic Roadsters Ltd. Fargo North Dakota
Need rear fenders for the 1936 Maurlaine 500K
finally found a car in pieces and bought the whole thing cheaper than fabricating fenders
Now have 1 & 7/8 Maurlaine Mecedes and some great welding equipment and a few $$$$$$ invested in a great shop.

Anyone need 7/8 of a kit???

I have a Classic Motor Carriages Cobra... When I bought it in 1992 the company went out of business... The company reopened again under the brand Street Beast... I never contacted the company but people that did got their issues resolved... All I was missing was the complete wiper system I paid for and never got, I bought one from the many places that sell them.
