A Car?.........Its a work of art!

Looking great Brad! It's very exciting seeing it all come together. Can't wait to get my very own Pace427. Not long now!
Do you have any kind of idea for completion.....or, at the very least when she'll be a driver? |

Completion date . The fact is there are some parts still in the ordering and supply chain so when i get ready for them i think they will be in store. Craig is working his little butt off trying to please everyone and order everything so it arrives on time. I was hoping to have it ready for the nationals but now that won't happen, before Christmas is a more realistic completion date. Fuel tank should be ready Tuesday and the pedal box base and stuff will be any day now. Cheers Brad |
Thanks for the Wheel Pic

Looks like you are making great progress! I like the Rivets used on the Bonnet Scoop. :) Are you planning to put Rivets on the Bonnet as well? Keep up the Great Work! |
Those rear wheel tubs beg for 18X12's with Toyo R888 335's
Potential traction problem... solved (almost). Anyone? Anyone? |
Hi Dan
They are not i repeat not rivets. They are Hex Cup Head bolts with a Nylock nut on the underside. I will post a close up photo on friday or saturday ( It depends on my social calender). They look very cool i think. Tony, I am using a 5 Speed Tremic with a tall 5th gear and a 3.7 Ratio diff . It should be a quickie off the lights and it should climb tall trees with no effort at all lololol. Cheers Brad |
Brad, Thanks for clearing that up.
|
Brad, I see you have a 14-1-14 pattern for the Bonnet Scoop. I know there were a number of rivet patterns used on the original cars. The most popular patterns are what enthusiasts call 15-1-15 pattern & 12-1-12 pattern.
I like the 14-1-14 pattern looks nicely spaced around the rear of the scoop and up the sides. Do you know if the measurements are in the Manual? |
Darryl, the 14-1-14 is a nice pattern with good visual appeal when using stainless button heads. If using rivets I would run the 15-1-15 but these days most people like the stainless button head bolt look and ease of fitment/removal and so the 14-1-14 works well.
We have scoops with 14-1-14 pattern imprinted or plain. So very quick and easy to fit with that pattern. We will keep doing numerous versions of our scoop. Where did you read the 15-1-15 & 12-1-12 are the most popular. That sounds like something I might have written... :) http://www.snakebite.com.au/auth_cobra.html?faq_item=2 The stuff above is some of my work. Enjoy. Craig White |

What is going on this is way getting too complicated for an old fella like me. I just want to enjoy the build and drive the car. Darryl you are going to get an Absolute Pace build manual in due course and i am sure Craig will explain all the patterns that are available (at a price) . Do you have any news on a delivery date (I didn't ask Craig last Tuesday) You are going to truly enjoy the build process , I can't wait to do the next things that are ready to be fitted to the Pace 427. |

Hi Brad
Did you go with the Halibrands? If so can you please post a pic once you unpack them? I think you said you were going 17's... Cheers Tony http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...el_Picture.jpg Body picture for Darryl (Not my Wheels ) mine are still in the box |
Wheels
Hi Darryl
I am going to use the 17" GT 40 wheels so they will fit over the brakes. The 15" wheels wont fit over the brake rotors and discs. Cheers Brad |

Wheels
Hi Paintwerks
My wheels are all silver as a previous photo shows doesn't the GT 40 look nice its a credit to the builder and the owner. the standard size rotors supplied by AP are 300 mm mine are the upgraded brakes which are 348 mm. When is your kit being delivered , it must be very close . Cheers Brad |

My kit will be ready in a week or two, but Craig and I are in discussions for him to be bringing it down to Melbourne to display on his stand at the Motorclassica show at the end of October. So, at the latest, I'll take delivery at the end of October after the show concludes. PS> very happy that you are documenting your build. I'm keenly following it! |
