    We had a Cube and loved it. Gave it to my daughter who still drives and loves it. Ours was built in Japan.....it was my understanding all Cubes, being super low production numbers, were Japanese built. If they made them in TN I was they still did..... Saw my F-150's birthplace in Mich USA.....

    DW is correct...Bud Moore was the leader in small block development. I used a engine from a 1990's era AMT Thunderbird kit.

    BINGGO! Why else are there a number of companies that 'work to recover your tooling and molds'.

    I'd agree for sure if it was politics....but this comes from many different sources and business journals.....it ain't rumor.

    A analyst on the Sunday morning news shows talked a good bit about how China operates with forgiven investors. Just by chance the analyst reminded the panel that tooling made in China is 51% owned by the Chinese government. It can become a issue very fast.

    80's era Ford Thunderbird kits...I trim the springs and this lowers car. 80's era GM kits do not have springs rather solid posts. I find they need very little trimming to get good stance.
