Classic stuff, a car club being formed prior to any cars being delivered!

Sounds good, we certainly have enough future PACE 427 owners to support it as I have just sold chassis number 17.

Sambo, just haven't delivered any VIC cars yet. Paintwerks is the first VIC car.

We have a happy owner here today assembling his PACE 427 that I am sure will post all about it.

Unfortunately only a fraction of our buyers post on here, hopefully that will change.

Sounds promising Craig - a dream start to the business.

I was reading your comment on the other forum about the prohibitive cost of producing a prototype and how your customers will help out with testing. I would've thought, given the interest and admiration for the kit that chassis #1 as a prototype would've been snapped up by eager buyers and more than paid for itself?

Hey Dave

I think you might have been just leaving when I got to the factory late morning.

Craig was very kind to show me through all aspects of his product - everything from body features, moulds and gel-coat colors through to unique features of the tail lights!

Thanks Craig, very impressed.

The only pics I took were of the kirkham, as the photos on this forum are doing the kit justice. The body is as straight and smooth as stated, and the chassis is a work of art. The welds are beautiful.

All in all, this product has raised the bar!

A bit too early for me yet, but one day. Soon rather than later if I can help it!

Tony

The B-Club is not an exclusive CR club. There's mainly CR's in there but there's other makes as well. We are just a bunch of people building cars that sort of connected.

Clubs and forums are great places to learn new stuff and make new friends. Having the support of other like minded people around you is great.

Cheers

Aussie Mike

Thought it was exclusive - do I really want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member..

I am heading to Absolute Pace this Friday if you are up in Queensland next week..

Driving the Cobra over from South Australia to West Wyalong, for the New South Wales reunion. Then onto Tamworth overnight and onto The Gold Coast next day to catch up with Craig and the Absolute Pace gang Monday.

Mmmm thought I needed a Cobra drive..:3DSMILE...
