Looks great Brad. Would you say it's a better finish than a 10 grand paint job?

Sambo, our bodies are not just a nice surface finish. In my experience we have produced a much higher quality body with the materials we use and construction techniques we employ. Our bodies are much, much stronger, also lighter, more durable and more consistent.

Are our bodies better than a 10k paint job? If it costs $10k to paint an average Cobra, ours will be significantly less money to paint.

Also after 6 - 12 months, the PACE 427's will be straighter, less prone to cracks, star cracks and more resistant to impact damage etc. We also fully protect/cover under the front nose and also the complete inside rear guards with our chassis.

My pet hate with all the Cobra's I have built and owned is the body quality, or lack there of.

And we just keep fine tuning the construction, quality etc. Unfortunately for existing owners we can't upgrade their bodies. But every existing PACE 427 owner does benefit from any new or upgraded parts, we retro-supply every part to existing owners. So our kits now contain significantly more parts than when we first supplied them, but every owner gets every new par even though they paid less for their original kits.

Craig, eventually all good lookers fade away and it's the personality we need to be able to live with.

It's early days but for my money the Absolute Pace cars, providing they are assembled by their owners with the same attention to detail shown in the factory, will age just beautifully and will still have the looks and personality to be desirable many years into the future. (Sort of a Cobra-world Sophia Loren!)

I like to think my lovely old Arntz has reached that stage of her life already -- but then I am just a wee bit biased ...
