The car looked great and the concept of virtually a single donor car is a good idea. This would have to go close to be the best ICV made by a Australian manufacturer.

Is that the SC540 as put together by Dennis Bedford?.

Looks good

Yep, that's the SC540.

Fantastic hey.

Those photos don't really show it's full size. To give you an idea, it uses a full size production Falcon dash.

I expect Yve(or is it Chris) also means D.R.B. as in Denis Robert Bedford. Not DRB Sportscars, unless there is some news I don't know about.

Would be great if some of the SC540 owners on this forum show us some build photos.

Craig,
As soon as I take some photos I post them. I try for this week. The web page for copycat cars shows some good pictures.

Actually a replica of the "Daisy" project. A modern cobra version mooted by Ford back in about 2004....but even then was old news.

see here: http://media.ford.com/newsroom/featu...?release=16649

and discussed on CC here:
Poll: "Codename Daisy" - New Shelby Cobra

Personally, I'd like something with more of the cobra styling cues.

A couple of CC members drew up some images they thought more appealing to us Cobra fellas....I'll see if I can find them.
