Hi all, I'm new here and only came looking because I heard there was a thread that interested me, but unfortunately I cant find it. It was the Classic Revival Vs Homebush thread and I dont know how old it is. Well without seeing the comments I would like to add my 2 cents worth. For my money I'd go with the Homebush any day. When the manufacturer hands u a hammer and says go ahead hit my car, that sold me and it was the best decision I made considering I had spent 3 years researching all the Australian manufacturers including Classis and DRB. What interested me in Homebush was seeing a bit in Wheels stating that in their opinion Homebush had the closest to original body out of all of the cars they looked into. After meeting Mr Crane and discussing the car I happily handed over the check when ordering. Mr Crane's after sales service is first rate and second to none, personal alterations and the odd stuff up when drilling were happily repaired. I have personally worked on a number of his cars and all of the owners are very happy with having a Homebush . When having my car sprayed recently it only required minimal bog. The only car I have heard off needing a large amount of bog was some fool in Victoria who took to his car with a sander and took the rolls off the tops of his guards so off course they had to be rebuilt. As a rule none of the Homebush cars seem to need large amounts of bog, it just depends on how careful the owners are in their building, as I had no problem putting mine together, it was almost as easy as mechano kits.I have happily recomended Homebush to people interested in building a cobra and that includes friends (so it is not done lightly . If you are considering a kit, personel research is essential not just hear say on web sites. Seeing the car in the raw is the only way to see what you get, such as finished lips on guards and inner guards in the motor bay. Women research well before we spend money.
