Ok, professional.
Go into the garage and take a picture of your car, post it here. Start with a before and a after picture. We will cheer... |
MrNobody
It would be great if you took pictures of your car presently from a low angle of the front, side and rear. Then post the same pictures with the al body so we dan see the comparison. Hoping it all works out for you. If it does, this will be great news for FFR owners |
A Charade And A Charlatan
Enough, already.
I am compelled to submit that this entire sequence of 'contributions' to our valued source of information on Club Cobra by purported employees of Alloycars is likely a charade in an attempt to gain free advertising and to lure customers who have more money than common sense. Moreover, their 'customer' presents himself like a charlatan who could be one of the employees of Alloycars. I ask that our fearless moderator Jamo stop further diminishment of the quality of this websiet as a resource for us Cobra fanatics by banning any further 'contributions' to this site by Alloycars or any of its claimed 'customers'.

Oh, really? Just because we have not seen an invisible pink unicorn yet, does not mean that they aren't real. MrNobody could be real too. He could be somebody and soon enough we can see live webcam pictures of his car at the Alloy Cars shop, so why bother to take a picture now. He is a lot braver than I am to be Alloy Car's first Cobra body customer.
I am not sure how he figured out that I am envious of Jamo's car though. |
Everyone....shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
I have a headache. |
How about some patience? Sit back and wait a couple of months and see what happens? I'd love an alloy body, and would consider one if shipping to New Zealand wasn't so expensive. Wouldn't be the first guy tho.

This has been...mmmm.....interesting? :confused:
Looking at the pictures posted of their car at the show, I think I'd be concerned about the quality of the aluminium bodywork. The edges around the hood opening look a very long way from being straight and even and the surfaces look a bit wibbly wobbly. http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/...psfwjiy4j2.jpg I'm comparing it to my Kirkham, which may be a unfair, but the prices aren't that far apart for complete rollers.

You have been asked for proof and pics repeatedly. You have failed to provide them repeatedly.
Speaks volumes. Come back with proof or you are wasting your time here. Friendly suggestion. |

Does MrNobody truly "fail" by not sending proof? He has sent a price, serial number, and some other requested details. As a member of both CC and FF Forum, I've followed this from day one. In my opinion, the jury is still out. I know I'd like to see how this plays out either way, and I think others may as well. Just my .02 cents, again. |
...wonderful. :rolleyes:

Weren't there two forum members taking a trip there this week?

Are these them? |

You can build a great Cobra from a Mark II frame; your body fabricator must know and understand the differences between each Mark’s frames/bodies. I would recommend spending a TON of time researching the small differences in the different FFR frames BEFORE committing 16K to re-body your car. Get yourself log onto FFCars & factoryfiveforum, you will save yourself a great deal of heart ache! Good luck with you re-body! I wish I had the coin to spend on such a cool project. Please document your ground breaking build. Pat :cool: |
Reading between the lines....

I don't want to say too much but that FFR serial number he provided, lets see the car it belongs to. I think we might be surprised...
that's all I'll say for now. ;) |

But, Alloycars makes pin drive and independent rear optional. And rear brakes aren't even mentioned, unless I'm missing something. Apples-to-apples, Alloycars' roller pricing makes absolutely no sense to me for a newcomer to the alloy body market. IMO, anyone buying an alloy roller would buy a Kirkham hands down. Having said that, if FFR owners find the $16K attractive for an aluminum body only, then I'd investigate further though when you evaluate the aluminum work based upon that one pic provided by Paul. Yeeesh that looks bad. :eek: |

With over 17 FFR's I've personally owned, I'd still like you to respond to the above when you have a chance. Will be interesting to read the details of exactly what you are getting for your US$16K. Bill S. |
My friend in Tampa is also interested in finding out what you want for your current Fiberglass FFR MK II body and what color scheme it has on it. His car has a light side swipe, and I explained to him that your rebody might be the perfect opportunity to get a replacement body that is strictly a bolt on.
