I've sent Rick Kopec a detailed letter asking just that some time ago, and haven't received a response yet.
I don't think it has as much to do with money, because I've never gotten that type of "attitude" from Kopec or Vinny Liska. They've always been supportive of the GT/CS, and in fact were the ones that showed me the way to the original Shelby (Automotive) connection long ago.
I'll be approaching them again. We'll see what happens. I'll keep you all posted.
Paul.
