Well, Jamin, ever had a manufacturer respond to you in less than 3 hours? You have now.... Please visit our website
www.premiercobras.com and take a look at the Engineering link, the Tour link, and the "about us" link.
You asked about specific responses from manufacturers.... specifically about fiberglass bodies. Well, specifically we use an especially formulated thixotropic resin that has a 355 degree F. distortion rating. Match that up against anyone. We do NOT use chopper spray anywhere on our composite body. We use 7 layers of glass in the layup and they are all hand rolled. We post cure to effect a tensile strength well beyond any like product we have examined.
The body is then lovingly hand finished as close to an original car as can be had - steel framed trunk and hood, 'V' cowl support, tab mounted separate dash, riveted hood scoop, correct rear bulkhead, correct external shape, fender well edges than are sculpted and tucked exactly as an original. In short, it's as 1967 as we can make it...
Please feel free to drop me an email or give me a call ( number's on the website ) if you want the "real deal" in composite. The Kirkham's have done an absolutely fabulous job with the aluminum car - development, marketing, originality, integrity in business. If you prefer the advantages of a composite ride, yet desire the ambassadorial excellence the Kirkham's have made a benchmark, get in touch with us. I'd love the opportunity to back up what we state with a factory tour. If we're not EVERYTHING we say, I'll buy your plane ticket home and post here why it was necessary to do so.
All the best across the miles.... Bob
