Why have an exclusive agent selling your selected cobra product in Australia but be happy to sell direct to anyone else who asks.....

hey Matt,
At the time WA had no interest to import a Coupe.. FFR were happy to deal direct. I think he does the Roadster as well... not sure re its registration compliance.
On the plus side I did speak with the new owner of the Classic Revival chassis / moulds, seems like a very decent guy that is unfortunately getting lumped with a few headaches that were not of his making. For those that like that body it still lives on.. 
Chris

Hi guys my name is Wil and I design and build the ICCARS AC Cobra replicas and this was a special request to build this monster..
I am a new comer to the Cobra scene and to you guys so any feedback (positive or constructive) would be appreciated.
Saying that I am experienced in the GT40 scene having built an RF GT40 that is twin Turbo'd and gets up and boogies.. LOL
I would like to hear back from you as to what makes your AC better for your own enjoyment, and hope I can contribute to what makes this kit better for future enjoyment.
Cheers Wil

Thankyou boxhead, that was seven years of my life to design and build the first chassis, and I am very proud of the end result. I am glad that you appreciate the detail as well, it is a very complex structure..

There is a lot to like about that chassis. Windscreen is an easy fix and personal preference as well I guess. Maybe just a little bit too much rear wheel but kit looks very promising. Like to see some more info.

Hi Tenrocca, the windscreen set back is at 55 degrees as per the original, as this gives you better head clearance, however to adjust the angle is easy as the mounting points are set by the builder based on the required angle they wish to achieve, within reason...
The chassis has a very high torsional rigidity (9350Nm+) the plus is because the chassis were designed and testing without being panelled, which adds to the stiffness, and the body is carried over 13 connection points to the chassis and when bonded (if bonded) adds tension to the torsional strain on the chassis, thereby increasing resistance to twisting - increasing torque slightly..
Hopes this information helps.

And he's using Skyline rear ends. Very Harrisonesk.
Must be modding them though to get that sort of wheel size in there.

Hi Spookypt, the choice for rear cradle was simple - Skyline, the front was more difficult but then I saw something I really liked and could make it work - Mazda RX7 twin turbo SD3FS and the rest is history. Considered the best handling AC Cobra in SA by the certifying Engineer. All upgrades available for better brakes, callipers etc.. We run power steering as STD. The front end has 8 Degrees anti-dive, 9-11 degrees positive castor and Bump steer is almost eliminated altogether. The sensation is equivalent to driving a BMW but it is an AC Cobra...
And to get those rear wheels to fit in is as simple as changing the cradle for a five link live rear axle system. Panhard rods are not an issue with minimal travel on this type of vehicle.
Regards

The monster tyre car has a fully floating 5 link 9" rear and tweaked chassis rails, but the normal kit seems to have the Nissan rear as standard.

If I had my choice I would have a rear solid axle car. I just like the way the wheels sit.
Looks to be a great car and something that can built into a reasonably authentic car. Anyone have any prices on the kit options?

A small correction possibly for you Sir . 
When you say a solid axle do I presume you mean a Hotchkiss rear axle assembly ??!
"A traditional semi-elliptical Hotchkiss leaf spring arrangement. On the left, the spring is connected to the frame through a shackle. A leaf spring is a simple form of spring commonly used for the suspension in wheeled vehicles."
Or more commonly a live rear axle.......................could be a misnomer though, would have thought that system has killed a few in its time.........

I just enquired, 18.8k for body chassis and a few bits. Looks a good deal with not a lot of money to get started.
