First Cobra shopping...

Hi Schipps, I dont think it maters where your kit comes from, youll overcome any problems that arise with the kit you end up choosing by asking other builders as well as the manufacturer. If you think your going to get any knowledgeable answers from Classic Revival your dreaming. I bought my kit never having seen one, and couldnt believe how poor the body construction was, and the fact that the rear wheels dont have any dish. This rear dish problem exists on the Harrison as well.
Have a look at Plums gallery and see the quality of the G-Force. Look at the door sill that is part of the body as well as the shape of the guards. While this kit isnt perfect either I think the end result is much closer to the original than most other choices. The one thing I would get G-Force to do is install a Jag rear end with outboard brakes instead of inboard brakes.
Another good looking kit is the RMC.

Regards.

Schipps, I must echo Mando here, pick the kit that suits you and that your most happy with. Distance is not really a barrier. You shouldn't comprimise because one supplier is just around the corner. You can get all the help you need here.
I brought my G-Force in '90 and people were amazed at the quality finish of the f/glass. I believe Rob now has an even better body.

Only with Harrison fitted with Skyline R32 rear end. Why pick Skyline rear, it's just fasntastic bang for buck. That's why we used it on our Harrison. If you want independent rear and deep dish, then talk to Harrison, it will be worth you while.

Yeah, that G-Force body looks trick. Although I am skeptic of the massive prep time savings being thrown about, especially after taking to paint guy that does most of the Cobra work up here. But to me a saving is a saving and less body work, means less possible problems in my books.

Not bloody old Jag stuff again. They don't even come with wheel speed sensors.
