Aluminium body value difference

[eschaider]

Doing a scratch-build car, if anything, is a very daunting endeavor and a virtual impossibility for a first-timer. Add to that the challenge of fabricating an aluminum body, and the number of successful builders that can produce something you would not be ashamed to show off, is vanishingly small.

Don't make an already tough job impossibly challenging unless you are into building rather than driving.

Some explanation of my skills and knowledge.

Yes that would be my first Cobra but
-I did full ground up rotisserie concours restorations that did the pages of magazines.
-I do show quality bodywork
-I built a helicopter and flew it
-I can machine and weld
-I confirmed with a coachbuilder he can do the aluminum body for next january.

I am totally aware of the task it is to built such a project but also what it would be at the end.

I'm presently just verifying all my options and possibility to decide which route I will be taking.

I have other cars to drive while I build it. Driving is fun but building too and I know I would be extremely proud of my Cobra when done.
