The new creed states that all build pictures of the new Pace 427 must be posted for public viewing......

Hi Guys

Mike you are well qualified its that you just get too much pleasure from building stuff.

Albany there will be plenty of pictures from me but Craig takes better photos.

Daniel i hope the wheels will be on and rolling soon .

Don I think Warren is quite happy with his beautiful Cobra Its a credit to his and Scott's patience and workmanship.

See you at the breakfast Don and i will see you Mike on friday.

Cheers

Brad

Nothing to do with his Cobra, Wazza will have images of Mike being better at holding the bolt rather than twisting the nuts...

Weather looked good...

Default Trade Stand at Two Days Thunder Race Meet (Queensland Raceway)

Bernie, huge response to our display at Queensland Raceway for Two Days of Thunder Meet.

Even had a TV Crew from a car show on Discovery Channel interview me for a future feature on our cars.


Photos attached. Enjoy.

Visited Craig in May and he gave my wife and myself an impressive tour of the factory.
Over two hours in total.
We were very impressed with the quality of the workmanship in what we saw.
I could not fault a thing, the quality is in everything that Craig and his team do.
I have paid my deposit for a GT40, have a LS3 480Hp engine in the garage and a
G50 on order from California Motor Sports. Can't wait to start my build.

Good news.

I think I may have been at Craig's factory the day you toured - cleaning my aluminium Cobra after driving it up there from South Australia.

Craig's factory and cars are first class as you realize so I think you will enjoy the build, as everything seems to just fit together with minimum work.

Hi byroncobra when I spoke to Craig in May he was hoping for 4 - 6 months from there.
Getting close to Christmas by then.

Bernie if you saw an old fellow about 63 years old with his lovely wife, then we were
there on the same day. I had a good look at the Kirkhams and they are a lovely piece
of work. Would love one of those as well.
