A few progress pics
Just competed the Aussie Mike style shifter mod - very happy with how it turned out - feels great through the gears - reverse lockout works a treat. Ill find out soon enough (or more likely eventually) if the shifter explodes at the end of the straight at Wakefield!
Turned up a knob in the same style as my blinker stalk - AC logo of course (I just dont like the cobra logo that much  ) Sitting a little high as I havent thread inside yet - need a 16mm 1.6 (I think) tap.
heres my engine - hopefully next weekend I might bolt em together and mock up on the chassis - Im still saving my pennies for a clutch - hopefully Santa will bring me a Tex
On the body side I have been preping underneath - here she is mounted on a craddle I made to make it a bit easier to work on and move around. Should have that done and ready to paint in a week or 2 (or 3 or 4 etc), weather permitting!
Cheers.

Does the Aussie Mike warranty cover motorsport use? 
Looks good.
I'm happy to join you with the use of AC logo's. I don't have any Cobra logo's on my Cobra at all, all AC logo's(half a dozen or so). Do you know if you going to fit the AC bonnet & boot badges? |

Looks great, I too agree with the badges, you can have too much of a good thing.
Don't feel you're alone if your handy work explodes, my diff is just a fading memory my therapist tells me.

Yes it is. I wouldnt attempt it on anyone elses myself, but Aussie Mike might be able to do it for you. I know Mal wood does them - and Im sure there are others as well. I think the shifter worked out around $250 delivered from the US, tube of liquid gasket, $10 - 4 litres Tranny fluid - $30...Not slipping with the grinder and tearing a massive hole in your new gearbox...Priceless.

Looks great Tenrocca.
You CR guys are very lucky with your wide chassis rails and that the engine sits between them. Is there any incline to the engine?.
I totally agree....the LS2/L76/L98 family is perfect for the cobra.
The pics are great...cept the last one with the dude sitting in it.

Hey Les - I think the engine sites pretty level, the rear will come up a litle as I havent yet made the gearbox mount.
Phil - Ill just get a haircut and I reckon the roll bar will be just right 
Cheers

Mine is still taller then most I saw! - Its S/S anyway so strickly speaking I dont this it would pass regardless of height. I think they were pretty relaxed on the rules this year.
If I start going under 1:20, Ill will make a new one in steel, using the same mounting postions, but with a higher loop and a cross piece for the 3rd leg.
