Watching this one with great interest...as are a load of others i would guess..
Chris, i know you are the car-cutting-up / fiberglass expert, but please get the
front bodywork as low as it can possibly go, and be super carefull with the front arch positioning (maybe put the big wheels on first, and set the ride height, then set the arch height...?) To me, the front arches are one of the most critical styling issues the cobras have.... Basically, the better / more expensive replicas have a minimal top-of-arch to top-of-wing distance, and the cheaper ones have a bigger distance, and look (in my opinion)wrong.
I hope that doesn't sound critical, its not meant to at all, i just want this project to look georgeous....!
(and just so you all know, been painting cars for a living for 20 yrs, and repairing them for another 15 before that... including all bodywork on a number of kitcars, including 2 cobras..)
I want this one to look right, so i can build one for myself, and as i dont have a garage to keep it in once built, this could be ideal...
Keep up the good work everyone....
