The problem with creating a 1/4 scale cobra is the time involved, the high cost for aluminum materials today and the very high selling price. The cheaper way is to make a glass body over the aluminum, but I don't feel it would be right having a billet suspension etc...and not a body.
The same pertains to the scale quick change and suspension, that's the reason why I stick with the chrome moly and belt drive system. If I could find another shop that I could use their cnc & lathe for a low hour price, I would think about getting back into building.

If you wanted to make an aluminum Cobra Body.You could buy this: GardenTrucking: 1:4 Scale Cobra Body
Then take .032 or smaller alumunium sheet and skin the body. You said you build or have built 1//4 scale sprints. You should no problem skining a body.
The Sprint on the table you could have made.There is a video on You Tube of it. Good job looks great.
I don't mind if you use my pic of the beadlock.I do have a problem of you not giving the credit to the guys.On the other pics you posted.One rim looks like a QSL another looks like a Bulldog rim.The checkerboard tire Todd Bishop of BRP Bishop Racing Rroducts.
I think you were just trying to show the board.Or trying to promote 1/4 scale
Oneforth: Thanks for clearing up the confusion.For pointing out the facts.I don't eye to eye with Bob but he does great work.
If someone takes credit on my work i don'tcare.Not saying FUNFER2 did.I have been copied many times.
