AWD ICCARS Cobra

Very exciting to see this project finally under way Wil. Go for it!!

As a point of interest --- does this mean that you could be offering similar wide bodies in 2WD builds to future customers?

Most interesting!



Fwiw, I understand the guys who do wide body Healeys, widen the body in 3 sections to main proportions. Down the middle and then on each side from headlight to taillight. Perhaps something to consider.

Thanks for that feedback Dimis, I have no choice but to widen the body so any possible options as per the above advice are greatly appreciated mate. I was just thinking that a 150mm centre fill in piece may be the go but will research the wide body Healeys that is for sure.
Thanks again.

Hey Don,
I was thinking along those lines as I really like the way this thing is coming together and may end up having a third option to my kits as we build the independent rear end, live rear axle 9" set up and maybe the wide body will be another aspect of the future of ICCARS Cobra kits. Will keep you posted!
Cheers

Started the rear cradle frame today and I am happy with it now, but some minor mods were required to clear the actual cradle frame. Once fully welded and braced this will provide more than adequate strength to the rear end of the chassis (torsional aspect) and will make life easy to install and remove the cradle assembly for rebuild and painting etc..

The hardest part of this rear assembly is the inconsistency of the Audi cradle - go figure!! Some minor adjustments however an I have it lining up within 1mm accuracy (and still I was thinking I might tweak it some more - )

This set up also provides additional leg room to my std chassis configuration, so a win win..
