Homebush??

What'saCobra



Homebush is a Sydney New South Wales suburb.

The Homebush fibreglass company there manufacture a wide variety of products including motor cycle and truck fibreglass pieces.

I purchased the 427 body about 4 years ago now and it sat at a Melbourne race shop for two years.

My photos show it sitting alongside two Mustang convertibles that shared factory floor space during construction.

Its on the road now and heads to the paint shop in April. Guardsman blue, white stripes, yellow over guard.

I built this to drive and have spent a lot of time setting up both a good driving position and comfort zone. This required a floor setup below the chassis, footwells, custom (stock in appearance) seats that support L3 and L4 in my lower back.

My only problem driving is that I may have positioned the seat a little low as track time leaves me a little wide on the corners as I just cannot see the edge of the nearside guard.

Yes I do Hoon. I have nearly shredded a set of rubber in under 7,000k (4,200 miles). I have been criticised (by my boss)for doing circle work in a paddock with utes and farm/ranch boys.



Have trouble p!ssing over that fence but can sure p!*s in their pockets. No trouble leaving them
