This is Bob Philip's hot rod fabrication shop, located at 259 Great Western Rd,
South Dennis MA 02660.
A turnkey car costs $25,500 delivered to your door about two years ago.
I've spoken with Bob a couple of times Re: Frankensprite. He has some good
ideas for making a car that can be duplicated, but has agreed that some of my
ideas, while expensive, are much better. (he just won't use them.)
The turbo-rotary version of their product (add another $3000 to the price)
has 380 HP in a car that weighs 1600 lbs. 0-60 times approach non-existence
and rival super bikes (sub 4 second in the right conditions). YOW!
I stick with Frankensprite for now, but it gets much further off, and I can
scrape some serious money together, this would be an interesting vehicle.
