FIA Cobra - Hand rolled body on T-Leaf Frame
 
Wanted to throw in a plug for my friend Joe at Panel Craft. He is currently making a transverse leaf ally bodied FIA Cobra. The body is a work of art, hand rolled and not a pressed panel like some others. This car is a bute and with the original buggy spring type suspension a keeper. Joe has made some panels for my comp build and they are fabulous. A great car made by a craftsman = FANTASTIC

Very impressive work! Thank you for sharing the link!

Looks good.

The one thing that bothers me is that it will have the incorrect Brian Angliss style oil cooler opening. It seems that nobody makes an FIA body with that detail correct.

Very nice! I love seeing a hand-made body.

Front end is going on now and looking real purdy.

It's getting unveiled in Atlantic City mid Feb. You saw it here first.
Jeff, T-leaf, I like that it sounds very English..........

Well, the oil cooler opening does look correct in this later picture.

1985 CCX 01-04-2011 04:27 PM

Yes it does, I gave him pictures of 2345 to review before he started....

Atlantic City is a reasonable drive from my area, but I'll have to miss this. I'm making the pilgrimage to Kirkham that weekend.
