Hi Craig, any pictures of fitted sway bars?

400TT 06-05-2013 03:40 PM

Mark, will need to take some photos of the sway bars fitted for you. We are supplying them as an option for the more track orientated guys. We are building the first chassis with track options next.

PACE 427-S (Super Street)
 
We have recently released a new exciting model level for the PACE 427 kit. It has proven popular as we are already onto our 5th Super Street body.

PACE 427-S (Super Street) features an upgraded body. It is both lighter, stronger and enjoys even better longevity than our already excellent standard body.

Features of PACE 427-S (Super Street) Body:

* 22% lighter than the standard body.
* More than 6 times the carbon content of our standard bodies.
* Upgraded Resin.

We utilise only high strength double-bias carbon in our lay-up. It is a knitted reinforced material consisting of 2 ply’s of carbon each laid down at 45 degrees to each other. This is a much stronger structural carbon compared to the more cosmetic looking woven design.

We also extensively utilise Kevlar/Carbon Hybrid material in our door construction. We use multiple layers each laid up in the cross-direction that maximises door skin strength to significantly enhance impact & tear resistance and also provides superior fire resistance. Combined with our door anti-intrusion bar design to create a very strong and safe door construction while minimising door thickness and maximising interior space.


Enjoy the photos...

Thanks Bob, yes we are. All of our body panels and composite parts are manufactured in house.

I will take some more photos of some of the other trick parts we build.

One of the really nice advantages of using so much carbon in the body construction is that it has an excellent masking effect. So you do not have the transparency issue of fibreglass body. Means you don't have to paint the underside of the body, you can leave the beautiful carbon exposed. Just run some high density foam in the wheel wells to protect the body from damage from debris etc picked up by the tyres.

Simon, your black body is already mounted on it's chassis etc. I have some progress photos for you, check your email. :)

That is another black body we have just produced.

leroy17 07-06-2013 01:59 PM

Craig, great update but those photos don't do it justice.

When you see these bodies with you own eyes... that is where the real beauty is. The carbon work is very very slick and a great detail under bonnet, boot, guards etc.

It still stuns me to see just how good these are popped straight out, and then once a light polish is complete...... pow!

Congratulations guys.

Some exterior photos of another PACE 427 Super Street body. This is just another gelcoat body as it comes out of the mould but with a little detailing.

This customer is not painting the car. Just dropping some white vinyl stripes on it.

This is a custom blue gelcoat colour mix we now offer to customers. Proving quite popular as we already have 3 customers that have selected it.

Enjoy

Looks great Craig. Based on the three cars that Ash owns, hasn't he trademarked that colour already?!? ;)

Tonus72 07-06-2013 10:36 PM

Is this the 'medium' blue that you showed me Craig?

Tony

400TT 07-07-2013 01:16 AM

Craig, yeah, Ash's Cobra is very similar in colour. I would love to compare the difference. Ash's Cobra colour is sensational, so no surprise we have customers that have chosen a similar colour shade.

Tony, this is what we are calling "medium blue". It is the colour body we had out at Queensland Raceway. Just once the body is detailed and buffed that colour really starts to pop. The photos don't do it justice.

I really like the lighter blue that is on Brad's(Cobra01) car as well.

We actually have a new "dark blue" we have mixed up for a customer and it will be coming up soon. And then there is D4's custom light blue. We really have some great colours available.

In essence you can have any solid shade/colour you like in gelcoat, we just keep mixing and trying to develop what we consider the best colours. We also make sure we keep large panels of each colour as samples for customers to look at.

spookypt 07-07-2013 01:55 AM

C'mon Craig, get that blue sorted will u....... g50, 427 and 13inch rears are awaiting.... . :D

400TT 07-07-2013 02:10 AM

Spookypt, we do have a mix for Gulf Racing blue. :)

albanycobra 07-07-2013 08:30 AM

Now that would be an awesome build.......
