Default Shelby Cobra body/chassis...which is the best???

hi all,

i am reasonably new to the cobra scene. i have loved them since before i can remember (i am sure i am not the only one here who had a 427 poster sticky taped to the ceiling above my bed as a child) and have finally gotten to the point in my life where i can seriously consider building one of my very own.

i live in australia and want to know who make the best body/chassis combos. i really like the lines of the Superformace cobras but dont know if they are sold in australia.

ofcourse i would prefer alloy to kevlar/fibreglass but yet again i dont know if there are any companies that sell alloy sets here in oz.

basically what i want is a body that is as close to the original dimensions as possible.

can any of you give me some advice as to whats the best for what i want?

Hi there and welcome to the mayham.

There is an Australian section on this site regarding all things Cobra and there are alot of different threads relateing to manufacturers and suppliers in Australia.

Superformance cars are sold within Australia (I went for a ride in 1 afew weeks ago).

The car is owned by Garrett, I am sure he will answer any questions you may have.

Alot of the cars manufactured in America may not meet Australian standards when it comes time for registration.

Good luck with whatever you choose

Also check out the picture galleries when checking the Aussie threads, you will see some of the different cars.

Sorry cannot help as I had Miss July taped over my bed.



Seriously, as Boxhead suggested try the Australian Cobra forum as everyone there will give you advice and ideas based on what is available in Australia.

Or affordable from overseas.

Cheers
