Leeroy is dead right. Get in there and have a go. I've not qualifications in any aspect of building my Cobra. I've picked up everything as I've gone along. The build so far has been a huge learning experience for me. I get a lot of satisfaction out of trying something I haven't done before and succeding. When you fail or it doesn't work get some help and try again.

Sub conciously I reckon part of me doesn't want to finish the build 'cause I'm enjoying it so much.

Just on the underbody.. I found a product that I reckon will be just the ticket for lining the wheel arches. Clark rubber have some 2mm thick nitrile rubber sheet that's self adhesive. It's flexible and very sticky. It would mold well to the inside of the wheel arches and give good protection from star cracks caused by stones flicking up from the tyres. I used it to line the inside of my battery box to give some cusioning for the battery and to insulate the aluminium surface. It was about $25 per meter and I reckon about 3 or 4 meters would do all 4 wheel arches.

Cheers
