Starting to gather a bit of momentum now. I like the colour, but everybody is getting in on it now....



Got a question.....with those rear flares, how much gap are you anticipating between the tyres and the flares, and how firm will the suspension need to be? I imagine your bump stops will need to to be setup correctly. I'm very much looking forward to the next stages.
Cheers,
Glen

I had a car the same colour as the gold cobra when I was younger. Loved it then, love it now. Looks great!

Regards.

Did I miss something here... it looks a lot like the main body is aluminum. I knew the doors, hood and trunk were but on my end, the main shell also looks alu.
Or am I just loosing it?
