Hello everybody, My name is John Chesnut and I am brand new to Club Cobra. I have been fortunate to be able to follow my dream and build some sports cars based on the style of the late 50's sports racers and recently an aluminum chassis, Corvette powered and suspended hot rod with a 23 Model T-bucket based body.
I am finishing up one of my dream cars, a 427 Cobra. I built it with an aluminum semi-monoque/backbone style chassis. If you are familiar with Herb adams, he built and sold a similiar chassis under the name of VSE Cobra's. I use new Corvette suspension, steering, brakes, wheels and tires, and the differential which I have converted to accept a driveshaft. I am using an LS6 with a T56, 6 speed trans. But, a Ford combo will work as well. The body shell and all accessories are from Mid-States. I have retained the stock wheel base and track but because of the chassis design the footboxes are significantly larger and the floor height is 4 inches lower. The result is more room for the driver and occupant. The complete car weights 1900lbs.
I am seriously considering offering the car as a kit. I know that there are alot of great kits and turnkey minus cars on the market but I believe that my car has a unique combination of modern engineering, all aluminum drive train, suspension, chassis, and other parts. I know from racing my T-bucket that the perfromance is staggering! If I could market the kit complete with all of the Cobra parts, alluminim chassis, all new Corvette parts, headers, sidepipes, aluminum coil overs, and all the other parts needed to complete minus engine, trans, wheels and tires for $29,000 do you think that there would be a market for it?
I appreciate any input! John Chesnut
