Hi Muzza, I have been working on the Cobra. I've had a couple of spanners thrown into my build (probably bloody Whitworth) because of the shutdowns.I was meant to be in America this week. I have a whole lot of parts waiting for me at a friend's house in San Diego ( all the gauges, fuel tank sender, Hurst shifter, wiper assembly and some brightwork). I also have an order I placed with Finishline on 26th Feb for all my bumpers with bracketry and some other interior bits and pieces). I also have my windscreen assembly waiting for me in N.S.W.
"First World problems" though. We are very lucky here when you look at what is going on in other parts of the world.
On a brighter note, I have made my headers, from a box of mandrel bends and had them ceramic coated. I'm quite pleased with how they have turned out, considering it was my first attempt.
I have also cut the petrol tank out of a sheet of 2mm aluminium, had it folded, then I brought it home and welded it together.
I am making the brake and fuel lines at the moment and want to have those done before I refit the body a to the chassis.
I have made the dash panel. I cut and folded a buck from mild steel, made a fibreglass mould from that, then made the fibreglass panel.
I had planned on completely building the car then disassembling for paint, but due to my shortage of parts, I'm going to press on with the body and paint work, to keep things moving along.
Stay healthy. Will.
