A very active member of the www.uniquecobra.com Web site (a site run by the devoted customers of Unique Motorcars-not by the company), Brent now helps others with their Cobra builds and sometimes offers up some of his own experience to those when asked. Just like the folks who attend Unique's Homecoming each year (it happens annually in the beginning of May), the Web site brethren all like helping each other out with whatever they need-something you don't get with too many other kits on the market. (You can find Brent by the creative and unique name he's chosen for himself on the site's forums: Brent).
