I believe that something is worth only what people are willing to pay. And I'm curious to see if there is such a demand.

Aluminum body's is what I make all day long. Mk4
Carlos,

Original Cobras came with aluminum bodies, hence the interest in them still, even on a replica chassis.

The trick for you, and the market to target, would be the Factory Five chassis. if you could build an aluminum Cobra body as a straight bolt on to their chassis, say for under 10K (US FUNDS), you could be on to a whole new segment of the market.

If you are planning to go head to head with Kirkham, McClusky, or Kimmons here in the states, you are in for a real uphill battle, as they have the history for doing things right, and you have no history at all in the Cobra/Shelby circles.


Just my two cents worth.
