I'd not planned to get on the internet and slag Colt off, but I feel I need to respond here. My experience with Colt is in line with most folks experience.
Using washers to space the wheels to clear the tie rods isn't 'solid'. One poorly assembled diff and one diff that wasn't even opened and was sitting in mud isn't 'restored'. Having the clutch go out on the ride home from picking it up, definitely not cool.
I could go on for hours. But what's the point?
Heck, my cruiser wasn't even a AZ cruiser - it was from Oregon (and had an Oregon title to boot, with a typo on the VIN - took me 4 visits to the DMV to actually get title to it).
I was prepared for it have some issues, being a '68. Honestly I was. But given what I paid, I wasn't prepared to have to replace the front end, rear end, clutch, radiator, fan, half the wheel cylinders, and rewire most the electrical.
That's not mentioning the tons of niggling little issues I've had.
I didn't pay $8k for my cruiser - if I had, I'd be much more forgiving.
