Another Harrison Chevy
Hello to everyone!
I have been a long time visitor (3 years) to the forum and I thought it was time to join and take part in all the banter (because mine will be Chevy powered) and share my build. I have to say that I have picked up a lot of great ideas and had a lot of laughs reading all the posts.
I bought a Harrison kit about 10 months ago but progress has been slow (OK nearly stationary) for various reasons, mainly an unfinished back yard after building. I have been to Warick for a track day and met a couple of people at Warick's shop and just recently got stuck into the build and I'm having a ball.
I am going to write another post shortly about gauges (my most recent purchase) so if anyone does a search it will come up. Oh, and to make a plug for the company I bought them off.
Anyway that's it for now and I will hopefully catch up with some of the Qld Cobra people around the traps.
Regards,
AC COB

As someone said to me after I aquired my car "Welcome to the nuthouse"
Even though it has a chev in it the body is still a beautiful thing and will provide many a smile per mile

Well done Guy and what a great choice of kit/engine. Don't listen to Merv, he realises his mistake after going back to the boat anchor brigade. 
Your progress has been similar to mine but while I have a decent back yard, because I'm renting the cramped garage has been the problem. Looking back I'm grateful that I've had the time to properly research a few things - I guess that's one upside.
Did you purchase VDO gauges, Howards Instruments or... other?
Best of luck and remember, without pictures it didn't happen!

Welcome to the nut house  .
After 3 years of lurking I'd bet you have most of the answers. 
However, don't be afraid to ask if unsure of anything.
What side of Brisvegas you from?

Welcome
Guy,
Great to see you on the forum. I must say what a great combination. A Harrison Cobra platform and a Chevrolet engine. 
As Tim the Toolman Taylor would say, "Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh!!!". 
Are you going with the 5.7l , 6l, 6.2l or 7 l?????
regards
Mick

Thanks for the Welcome.
Paul - see my separate post I am about to do re the gauges. I will put pictures in my gallery over the next few days.
Rebel1 - I thought there was only one side to Brisbane...The North Side...of course. Out near Strathpine way.
Mick - At this stage I am going for the 6l. As tempting as it might be to go all the way, I don't see the need in a car that only weighs a whisker over 1000kg. I have a very interesting article on these engines and with little upgrades, 500 plus horsepower can be achieved. More than enough for a Sunday arvo blat.

There is only one side to Brisbane and I must admit, you do live in it.
