Great project thread!
Can't wait to have Kevin and Donna back in the fold......
Craig, awesome job.....
Kevin is right, nobody here in NH will deal with him any longer.... Figure that would ring a bell or two??
Anyway, will stay positive...
Just glad you did not sell the buggy, we all wanted to at some point with previous support system. Now we are all back on track.... Many miles to come and petrol to burn...
Remember these are the purest form of hybrid

Project looks terrific. Reminds me of the day I got mine back from powder coating. What an exciting day that was and I imagine for Kevin also now after what he has been through. Everything going forward should be new stuff, so all positive I hope. Looking forward to updates as it goes.
Jealous of the alloy body, but not sure I would give up my Roger Bollick carbon fiber body for it.....

If Carroll Shelby were to start the whole Cobra thing again, I suspect he'd be using carbon fibre (or fiber, depending upon where you reside) for competition cars. It's hard to argue against the merits of strong and light, and probably cheaper to spit CF bodies out of moulds / molds than to hand form aluminum / aluminium. Street cars, OTOH, seem to do just fine with fiberglass.

Could always make the alloy car and wrap it in carbon fiber pattern.

That's what makes this hobby so neat, lots of choices. 
And the choice for some is to get it as close to how it was.  |

If I had one of Roger's carbon fiber bodies, I probably would have only gone with alloy doors, hood and trunk. The carbon fiber bodies are very cool - light, strong & dent resistant. |
