Don't forget you need an engineers report on the chassis showing that it meets the minimum 6000NM per degree for torsion and beaming results.

this figure is fairly significant and from looking at the chassis on some of the US Cobra kits I think a few wouldnt pass it. Surprisingly I heard some DAX cars imported from the UK have had trouble meeting the requirements without aditional stiffening added. Some Aussie DAX owners may want to set me straight but this is what I've heard.

I'd love one of the 427 Aluminium body Stainless Steel chassis Kirkhams, that's just the ultimate Cobra for me. I'll keep buying lottery tickets and when I land the big one I'll send them a cheque.

Cheers
