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.
