If you have a kit they are comfortable with, you dont need to see them at all until its finished. I've spoken to them a few times over the 4 years of the build with various questions, always they have said no need to see anything until its ready.

What would be good if we published a basic roller price from all the current suppliers, I bet there would be a few suprises....

Give me a couple of weeks and I will have some indicative numbers for 3 or 4 suppliers.
I am looking to find out cost of chassis and body. Then the kit to complete the car ready for motor/gearbox. The variability in the prices is unlike pace which supply everything you have options of new versus secondhand parts from donor car, wreckers etc. then you need to factor in refurbishing the secondhand part if that's the path taken, how much In house fabrication is doable will vary from owner to owner. Cockpit fitout will also have some variability as it's possible to do it all your self or pay some one to do bits or the whole lot etc etc.
Nevertheless I want to understand what you get for what you pay for and then assess how well that is presented, no point saving a couple of grand only to use up what you save in chasing bits all over the place or trying to reengineer something because the part is unavailable or incorrectly specified. How good is the supplied manual, what access to support(talk is cheap, customer feedback invaluable) is there etc ect

Try looking for a half finished project. It has saved me heaps of money. I have a CR and love it so far. Plenty of leg room. Laid up fiberglass. Very solid. JD

Enclemans +4
I had a number of conversations with Burnie and then headed down for a visit with the car.
It was one of the easier parts of my build.

hey JD, i will do a spreadsheet on preferred suppliers and see what its gong to cost me and then see what the options are out there. Do you have a build thread running etc. What are your thoughts on support from CR and what donk you running. some pictures would be great, keep us posted of how the journey is going.

Saw my first aluminium bodied cobra today and it looked fantastic. Not sure I could justify it for my first time?

I was led to believe the CR manual was comprhensive with every part required listed with its associated OEM number. This would allow a call to the wreckers or purchased new from OEM. How old is your kit jaydee? How was your manual Gregg?
Rang the engineer yesterday, not back until Monday!

Hoity the Pace manual is comprehensive. The CR manual was comprehensive until the Pace manual came out and reset the bar.

I think Pace has taken everything to a new level, i havent spoken with anyone from the factory yet. There printed stuff available on line, reading some of the build threads seem to suggest they are working real hard to get it right and support their customers. |

Yes indeed. Do NOT discount community assistance. If you buy any "common" kit you can get all the help you will ever need right here. For sure a good manual makes things easier and quicker, but so far there is no question regarding build which cannot be answered here - it's all been done before, multiple times usually!

Your right, an incredible amount of assistance available right here. I have come a long way in the space of a week. |
