Is an Aluminium shell worth it?

[deano59]

ive never driven a alloy one but ive been for a decent ride in kents Kirkham ..you feel all the road bumps and feel the road as it changes surfaces I think that may be cause all the suspension is hiem joints and I expect my pace to ride the same . the biggest thing was from my point of view I was **** scared I was going to dent it climbing in . kent was saying it's a bugga to keep clean from bugs and even people touching it left marks from the oil in there skin..i suspect that's why some people paint the alloy bodys.

they are fantastic to look at and kents car drew attention every time we stopped or even at red lights people would stare at the car def not the car for you if your the shy bashful type.
im happy with pace composite body I think most people are smart enough to know there are not too many real ones been driven around south Australia ..

cheers dean

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I must confess I do still have my heart set on an aluminium cobra....

I just had a long chat with Wil from ICCARS about his kits - it is so nice to talk to someone so passionate about cobras. Lots of fantastic and practical advice from him.

His new chassis sounds very impressive too.
