AC Cobra kit car....I have a tremendous weak spot for them....they sound glorious and look the part when done properly. Was it on halibrand replica wheels and running a V8? Chevy small block? Who's is it Jim?
It's only partially built yet, the tub is still in primer and has yet to meet the chassis. I believe it's Jag-based suspension-wise but it'll
only have a Rover V8 in it, albeit fuel injected. A Jag V12 like in your Dax Richard, would have been much more fun....
Can't imagine a Cortina based one. If ever there was a case of spoiling the shop for a ha'peth of tar...
The task of the evening was a trial fit of the engine and gearbox and to mark up where the gearbox crossmember should go. However the Jag diff was unavailable so the job couldn't be completed. It looks though, as if it will have a propshaft about a foot long
This particular Cobra replica is going to have something very special and possibly unique (for a Cobra that is) in the suspension/braking department... For now though I'm afraid I must say no more, I'm sworn to secrecy.
The Cobra is owned by a friend of a forum member...
It's rather interesting to see a car in the process of being built. Quite a contrast to the following day's work - breaking a car!!!
