"Bruce’s body is very faithful to the original, but it may deviate a little I'm sure."

Huh? You've got some splainin' to do.

Good to see we're back up & running! Still waiting on the example car

Hi *13*,
The example car will happen if we decide to do this. For now we are finishing the EVO 5 display car and working on other projects. Keep in mind we do not have a huge operation so we do things as we can. I have a customer who may do the build and document it for us. The chassis will need some changes to the front track and modification for the exhaust.

WOW!!!!!

McBruce, I think it looks great! The Tits!!!!!!

Mike,

Personally I think you should offer this body, it would set your Turn Ten Cobra apart from the rest. With the adnvances you have made in the chassis, offering a more track worthy setup, it would only make sense to use the mock up shown with the Lemans top.

I LOVE IT!

Let's say it is offered in a non-public way for now. We are willing to sell a rolling chassis sans body with all of the necessary changes.

Discounts may be offered for the first few because we would want the beta builders to document the build and tell us of any fitment problems if they arise (i.e. door latching to frame). I will also offer a Turnkey minus car based on our EVO 5 chassis, but initial buyers may have to wait as we work out any build issues that arrive. That is about as clear as I can put it for now.

I have seen the FIA body in pictures only and have not done a side-by-side comparison with a real FIA. I am told it is faithful, but I have not confirmed that. "but it may deviate a little I'm sure." means it "may" deviate. I will get pictures posted when I can, but this post was to gauge interest and find out members thoughts. This post was to gauge interest, just like they are doing with the FFR guys on ffcobra. I have already received calls about building turnkeys and rollers using the body, which I am getting closer to green lighting.
