I've been building an AC (for about 14 yrs ) and it seems like a good basis. the frame welds are great, the body is a one piece with thick enough glass and is going together ok. I'm sure some kits might be easier or more popular but I'm happy with this build.

But the sad truth about Cobra roll bars is that far more serious injuries are caused by BFT to the head resulting from relatively minor impacts than from flipping the car and...Liked On: 05-27-2022, 09:45 AM
