I respectfully disagree, Jack. Greg wasn't handed anything. The Phoenix guy left Kirk's employees high and dry. Greg stepped in and re-employed them(and absolutely did the right thing!), and moved his address back to where he started in Hawaiian Gardens. Adding Speedsters to his Spyder and coupe offerings was a great move for him and for all of us.

Greg has stepped up his game continually, lifting the Vintage Speedster in the process. They have quite a waiting list for builds, and have for a while now.

Carey has a long waiting list for builds as well(three years I think?). Add the 5 plus-year-long chassis re-engineering program, a big plus for the future.

These two builders have been upping their game for years independently of what is now or was going on with IM. The draw for these two manufacturers is independent from IM. They may add a few more customers, but both are extremely busy already.

I wish Henry well, and also wish he was going to remain building cars.
