I helped a mate build a classic car from enzo and dominic I actually used to work for them on there market garden long before they started building the cobras and I had left before they started them .
my mate hade a fair bit of trouble with his some of the points where the nose cone area was out of shape and had to be sent elsewhere to be rectified it took a lot of cutting and redoing to get it right . the thickness of the fibreglass varied from 1/2 thick to almost paper thin in some areas and more glass had to be laid in . the wheels seemed to sit further back in the gaurds on one side than the other and no amount of tweaking ever got it perfect in the end .
but saying that the car got completed and on the road and drove quite nice his was the extended version and it was this car that got my interest and into my first cobra his was painted british racing green with gold stripes and after a fer yrs of ownership it was sold to someone in the mid north of south aust and I lost track of it after that .
the boys from classic glass where great market gardeners car builders they relied on out soucing a lot of there stuff but I do recall they had a full time worker doing the cars his name escapes me at the moment , I really should drop in and see enzo and dominic as they only live down the road . the last time I was there they had a cobra body hanging from the rafters of one of there sheds that's all they had left I was told , there was plenty of classic glass kits sold and they still turn up from time to time and some of them were done to quite a high standard by the respective builders of there kits .
cheers dean
