Default Getting my new kit tomorrow

Yippeeee, getting my cobra kit tomorrow, body/chassis, I decided to go with G-Force as he has a reputation of building a very well sorted body, he also had one in stock, the Mk11 big block.

Went to see it today, and it is awesome.

One more sleep, so how can I fall asleep so tomorrow comes quickly.

Yes, it is certainly is a great day getting it home and tucking it in.
My gallery has some shots of my first day!

Hopefully you've joined the Cobra Club of WA.
They are a great bunch of guys with a shared passion.

Let me know if I can help out with anything...

Well done puttputt and welcome to the G-spot er G-Force clan!!

Make sure you keep a camera handy for regular photo updates to the forum.

You'd also be amazed at how useful a long collection of pics can be to you sometime in the future when you want to do something else on the cobra.

Thanks folks, arrived and I am so impressed with the high standard of workmanship, the body gelcoat shines as if it had already been painted, and all the panels fit beautifully. The chassis is also fantastic.
I am very happy !

Sorry Mate but without pictures it never happened.

You've got to post up a pic of yourself sitting in the shell making broom broom noises. It's traditional.

Cheers

Hahahaha, Mike, I'll have to do a video, otherwise you won't hear the sound affects.

Your fiberglassing thread made me realise that I don't have the skills to adjust panels with fibre glassing, thats when I started looking for a kit thats body was already fine tuned from the factory.

Tenrocca mentioned in your thread that gforce has a good straight body, and that directed me to look at them.

So thanks to all you guys for your most invaluable advise.

And with the manufacturers spruiking the quality of their kits, you shouldn't have to
