Hi All
There are a few folks on here building or who have built CR Cobras. Dave W mentioned it's interesting to see the evolution in chassis design over the years.
Mine is one of the early square tube chassis cars but even it had some changes from the first Square tube chassis.
The square tube used a donor rear suspension from the AU falcon which was still a current model when t came out. Complete new rear ends could be bought from Ford. I sourced mine from a wreck and it took some finding as there weren't that many in the wreckers at that stage. I liked the double wishbone rear end as it seemed a significant move forward from the traditional Jag rear end or live axle designs.
Front end components were the more traditional Jaguar sourced items.
Mine had some changes from the very first square tube cars in that it had pendant pedals rather than floor mounted.
The next update after mine had a dropped boot floor and redesigned rear subframe. Pedals also got 3 mounting holes to move them forwards and back.
The round tube saw a complete redesign with suspension being a mix of donor Holden components and bespoke CR manufactured items.
So lets look at the differences in generations. Post up your CR square and round tube chassis pics and we can see the development.
Cheers
