2 year anniversary......
I count Austrailia day 2006 as the day I officially commenced work on my car, so it might be a good time for a little update.
Ive prepped and painted underneath, have affixed the wheel well aluminium (in the engine bay) and started running the hard fuel lines. The drivetrain is still missing a clutch and tailshaft, but hopefully should see those arriving in the next month - then the body will go back on for the last time and Ill start the wiring and finish plumbing. I will be prepping and painting the body on the chassis. I reckon another 2 years ought to have her done....:) http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...1416_4_4_1.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...1413_2_5_1.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...1410_1_5_1.JPG |
Nice Brackets
Hi Andrew,
Love the brackets, are you going to polish them?:D Phil |
I love the brackets too....
Home made or purchased (where from) ??? Regards Hogster |
Love the bling Andrew hehehehehe
Ben |
Looks good Andrew,
Love the Aluminum work. Out of curiosity, what did you paint the underneath with?? Luke....... |
Thats not bling and Im painting them black :D. Made out of necessity as I wanted something that looked a bit neater then you standard P clamp, and shop bought ones are exxy. Very simple - 12 x 20 bar and drill press and the "circular aluminium glitter maker" (drop saw). Underneath just painted with the KH underbody spray on - easy to use. In the engine bay, any bits not covered in aluminium (which are pretty out of sight anyway) I used por 15 in silver as it is a reasonable match for the aluminium. :)

Lookin good there Andrew.
Should be a nice contrast against the Pepper white or is it Taupe? |
Pepper white is the correct colour name :)

We are running neck an neck with our build at this time. Check out my 'Gallery." I hope to be on the road by August this year, so come on dude, can't we reduce that anticipated "street-meet my Cobra" time by a few months? 2 years seems a long way off. I'll be 65 by then. Watch my " Gallery" and keep in touch. Baz. |
That looks pretty good for a Sydneysider. :cool:
That Por15 is bonza stuff. Very durable as a coating on fiberglass. |
2 years and Ill still beat 40 ;)
Seriously - hopefully towards the end of the year Ill be ready for engineering. Still a lot to do before now and then, but hoping things will progress relatively quickly once the body goes back on. :) |
Weathering
Andrew,
Probably best if you stay out of the sun for a while, as you don't look like you are under 40.:D This is the year of the 40th for me.:eek: Phil |
Not Sun - its the bloody house full of women. :)
Hope your having a birthday party??? |
Not till next year for me to be 40.
I am seeing a pattern with guys being in there late 30's and getting a Cobra. |
