I can't imagine the body rolls to well at all, especially since the chassis isn't under it

My Classic Revival body is exhibiting the same rock solid handling characteristics from it's position on 6 plastic crates in the back of the shed.

Hopefully the running gear will all be done soon and I can drop it back on!!!

Cheers

Good to get that body back on. Then you can take the milk crates back to the local milk bar.

Darren at Di Fillippo's is very helpful, talked to him today and its just 'no problem' I will post it down to you.

Forgot to ask him who owns the blue Cobra there at the moment, red and white stripes.



Cheers

Bernie

Thumbs up Another Reptle (REPTYL) on the forum

Hi Paul

Welcome to 'clubcobra" and the 'forum'.



I saw "Reptle" and wondered if that's the plate you have. There is another 'Reptyl' on the 'forum' here.

I think there is a photo of his car on my gallery camera.



Now where is Hillside the suburb? If its out east you may want to drop into Doug's on Saturday also? Address is above.

Cheers

Bernie

Hillside is about 1KM from me. I'm in Sydenham, you've been to my place before Bernie. We should all try to catch up again out west.

Cheers

I'm at Doug's On Saturday so if you don't get over there, I may call in at your place on the way home to Geelong. I go back via the Ring Road to Geelong from Doug's.

Could just drop off at Calder Highway?

Just a thought. Garret may call over? Will save me chasing him.

Cheers

Bernie

Hi Bernie,

I won't be able to make it to Doug's, I've just got too much on this Saturday.

I should be round home most of the day Saturday and Sunday.

Give me a call on my mobile: 0438 414 707.

Cheers

Sorry missed you I'm heading back to Mt. Gambier Sunday. Over again next weekend ( but I see your away )



Will catch up next visit. I know Attwood, I just did not recognise the Hillside
name. If I'm correct its the estate opposite the Vic Police Dog training and Driving School complex



Cheers

Bernie

I called over to check on Mike's progress today and held him up for a few minutes.

He's making very good progress when left alone.

The Cobra looks great and will be a nice car when completed. Mike may Post a photo of his new colour scheme samples



Cheers

Bernie

OLSCHL,

Doug's making good progress on the Cobra with it possibly going to the paint shop this Saturday.

The main hold up has been the cold and damp weather. Letting everythinh go off. That's even with the factory heater going.

Anyway progress is being made and that's good.

Catch up shortly. Enjoy Fiji

Cheers

Bernie
