OK, where are the spy photos?
Come on you banana benders, surely some one can sneak down to Warricks shop and snap a few pics to post here.
Last time I saw it it was just a bare shell sitting on the floor. It must look like a car by now.
Cheers

Well I've got bad news, doesn't look like the Daytona will be ready to take down to the Nationals.
Warwick has been too busy building Cobra's I think. He has never been so busy.
The Daytona has been painted, ready for re-assembly.
It really looks gorgeous. I've had plenty of opportunity to snap some spy photos, but didn't think it was right. I'll check with Warrick and see if it's ok.
Daytona was painted by the same guy painting my GT40. Chris Pilling. Most here will be familiar with that surname. Chris Pilling is working for FFF. FFF did the body work on both the Daytona and my GT40. I think FFF have painted close to a dozen Cobra's now and performed numerous repairs.

Keep an eye out for them.

Daytona photos are up on Harrison website. He only has photos of the painted body/chassis unit at the moment. I expect we will see more soon.
Direct link to Daytona photos.

It looks so good in the flesh. Notice they have bonded the rear wing on. Won't take many hours to get it rolling & drivetrain in. Warwick has been busy pushing out Cobra's, I've never seen so many cars being built, so that's obviously distracted him.

The front clip is not back from the painters yet. It's been held up as they have been busy making moulds of it for acrylic headlight covers etc. It's also got to be coated underneath.
My GT40 is also wrestling for attention from same paint shop, she you can blame me if you like.

Hey 400TT, what is the name and phone number of this paint shop again. If all you fellas use this painter he must do a pretty good job and mine will need paint soon.

FFF - Fergies Fine Finishes George's number 0422 056 864
George is a member of the club.
These days you could go to any Club breakfast and you would see quite a few cars painted by him. George himself attends quite a few breakfasts. Most people, if not all, have chosen the entry level paint job, what George calls street paint job. Don't be fooled it's a pretty high quality job. A lot of people are even chosing to paint underbody in matching colour these days.
George has a background in fibreglass, so is an expert in getting lasting results. Which I certainly took advantage of his fibreglass skills for all my body modifications.
He has just started using Chris Pilling and his high-tech both for all his paint work. Chris Pilling is also a Cobra enthusiast. The Daytona was the first car painted by Chris. My GT40 is currently getting painted by Chris.

Thanks 400TT, I just rang George and he seems like a really good bloke. Overall cost of painting my Cobra was also very competitive. If he did your car (and you have built a few) I am sure he'll be good enough for little young me.
Blue with white stripes here I come.

Yeah, George is a great guy. He also stands behind his work. If you are not happy, he will fix it, no problem.
Have a look at Harrison Cobra site gallery. http://www.cobrakits.com.au/gallery George did all body work & paint on both Steve's & Peter's Cobra's. When I say George, it will also be the guys working for him. The big players in Cobra work are George, Rob & Chris.
George also does work on Corvette's for Corvette Club. We they are fibreglass. I saw him re-skinning a bonnet the other day because any repairs would come back through. That's what you get when your fibreglass gets old enough I suppose.
Curiously did you know that you are getting charged over $1000 extra for stripes. Well I think that's the difference. But when you see the work involved in getting them right, you don't doubt the labour cost. You can't just drop stripes on these cars, you've got to ensure they run through the middle of everything. Big problems occur when you go for twin rollbars, as chassis don't normally line up perfectly on body. You also get choice of having semi-smooth stripes, they rub back stripe edges before putting clear on. Harder to repair later as you can mask up to the edge of raised stripes, but semi-smooth look and feel great. I went with semi-smooth. Daytona has standard stripes.
Also decide whether you want straight stripes or original style as detailed by ERA here. http://www.erareplicas.com/427man/stripes/index.htm
George has details to do both styles.

Hey 400TT, seeing we are talking all things Harrison and your brain seems to be a 'whose who' I was wondering do you know who did the interior work on the Harrison Cobra 450KW (Paul's car)? I remember seeing that car at the Brisbane Hot Rod Show and the thing I liked the most was the interior! Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, I have it here I think. Will get back to you. They have done a few interiors for Cobra's. Don't know if you have seen Pete's Gold DRB, but the interior was done at the same place. If I can't find it, I might be able to get Pete to post it here.

cut and sew.
The trim work was done by annvid upholsterers in smith st capalaba. Dave Brittan is the owner and they have produced some excelent interiors for cobras over the last 5 or so years.
They do like to a bit artistic licence when they do a fit out so that no 2 cobras are the same.
