Irish Newbie
Hello everyone.
my name is Mark, I am from the republic of Ireland. I have been a huge Cobra fan from childhood. I'm planning to build myself a cobra replica as part of my college (mech engineering) final year project. I am planning to design/build my own chassis relatively faithful to the original but designed to be safe(relatively) in modern traffic. Any plans for chassis bucks or original drawings/cad files for the cobra would be a big help to I can get the basics/major measurements. |
Building a whole car in two semesters is an awfully ambitious project. Unless it's a group project I'd wager you won't finish. Consider reducing the scope. Perhaps just the frame.

5 years ! i'm studying part-time so I have quite some time to get this done.
I will be buying a shell from jk cars in the UK sorry I wasn't clear. The frame/chassis is what I plan to build. I would like to buy a whole kit as they are about 21k GBP without engine/paint buuut the three available to me vary wildly. One option just looks cheap %/ , the second uses a box section chassis that covers the entire floor right out to the doors with a more traditional dash/upper body support like the original 289 chassis but very little side-impact or foot protection. Option three has a very nice lotus style back-bone chassis but the body is structural and I would be relying on fibreglass to protect me from side impacts which i'm not to keen on. I quite like the the FFR chassis. My plan is to design/build something very similar to the FF chassis. |
