Hello All,
I am Jeff and build the Cobray-C3. I missed this thread the first time around as I have been locked in the shop seemingly day and night implementing our quality assurance programs. We are working on the latest molds for the C3 and C4 bodies and are very proud of the quality, fit and engineering of our newest baby.
Just like most of you I have built many different cars, projects and kits over the years. I swore I would never let some of the junk and poor engineering I encountered out the door if my name was on the building. As an engineer and builder of the Cobray this is my chance to sign my name on every part. The highest quality resins and materials are hand laid. Jigs and fixtures ensure proper tolorance stackup with a consistant fit. The body has been inspired by the Cobra of the 60's but is not intended to be a replica but shares the mystique and fast sexy body lines.
When bolted directly to the race refined and proven Corvette chassis this body fits properly. It is centered and the correct height on all four corners. The doors, hood and trunk have tight even lines and fit the way they should. The body flows and looks fast just sitting there. The large cockpit is comfortable and even the biggest driver fits well. I will add a few photos later but in person tells you much more and the roll bar changes the looks a bunch.
The build cost is very reasonable with parts from full race to grocery getter easy to find. Factory manuals help you with the rebuild or bolt on of refurbished assemblies. The car can be serviced or repaired anywhere as it is a Vette under the skin. The spring rates, shock valving and complete suspension has been re-designed by Vette Brake Products to adjust for the new weight, weight distribution and intended use. You can install a Ford or any other power plant if you choose, do what makes you happy. The resale is very good and one of the few cars in my life that I can sell for close to if not more than I spent. It must be a quality build and be done right for good resale but that applys to any car unless sold on pure celebrity status ( a beat up pinto owned by Mr. C S would demand big bucks !! ).
To be fair there are some hard core collectors and purists that I could not give this car to but the same people would also be right there to help or give me a lift to the gas station if I ran out on a run. This is a great group of people and I am proud to be part of the community.
