Fasterpatricks Custom Cobra

[map]

I had the same problem with my Allied body, It suppose to lay on & be attached to a OEM cobra chassis and glassed around the tubes. That's kinda tough to do so what i did was hand form aluminum jams, hood/doors/trunk/rockers and epoxied the aluminum to the glass body hammered /formed then riveted the aluminum to the birdcage chassis just like AC cars did on the original cobra. Kinda throws a curve at the people that checking a parked cobra for a riveted body. I'll get a few pics..

Sag? , the body is resting on the framework at the front of the hood, rear of the hood, around the cockpit, at the top of the trunk, and along the valleys in the body. The pads in question will have negative pressure pulling the body into the frame, not resting on them. I'm more worried about pulling them off the body. plan is to paint the body with black primer and roll whole car out in the hot Aug. sun and bake before doing the final body work to cure and settle.

Though I like the aluminum edge fake out thats got to keep them guessing. My body has to be removable I don't think I could pull the engine without cutting it up. So to be safe I can't permanently attach it.
