i am new to the forum. I'm from Argentina. Thanks for having me. by now I have a cobra. I planned to build. anyone could help me telling me blueprints or drawings with measurements. as in Argentina do not sell body kits.
thank you very much
forgiveness for the possible bad writing. is to google translator.
good bye

Good Day Nicko. Take a look at Ozgur Tan's thread (do a search on his name). Then send him a private message. He may be able to provide you drawings.

People thank you very much for responding.
Mr Ozgur_tan've seen your work is incredible. I congratulate you.
well my idea was to get some drawing or graphic that allows me to make the figures as a serious plan and seen his model in wood.
unfortunately I can not see much of their photos on the post that you referenced. I get error web address.
if you could send it or give me another address to view them. I would appreciate.

RaceTech about my country. but there are other builders. but are really expensive. and are not within my reach. I prefer to do so from scratch but takes me a long time. but I think that every passion has its cost in time and love.
thank you very much for responding ... I am happy to find this forum.
regards

hi nicko,
so, you have been warned about long journey.
if you go thought all 24 pages of my built thread, you will find re-post of pictures that you are looking for.
you may google search for do-it-yourself boat pages since method is very similar.
what is your plan for front&rear suspension and engine&transmission ?
please do not hesitate to ask questions.
regards,
ozgur@istanbul

hello sr.ozgur
told him that I got plans and templates to build the body, with similar method to you. your post is very helpful to me.
in Argentina there is a problem for the patenting of cars made outside the factory, so I'll have to build it on another car, such as the Ford Falcon or Ford Taunus Argentina. example http://www.todofalcon.com.ar/Fotos/66_princ.jpg
I found out similar cases in Argentina's construction on other cars. but these cars do not have chassis are minivan, I will use parts of the subframe and the reforzare. removing the entire hull.
the engine initially using a 6-cylinder in line, until a V8.
suspension will be modified. we use double-acting shock absorbers short.
well then I will continue posting. in these weeks we started to build a scale model for debugging techniques. I'll post the results
thank you very much to everyone's attention. especially to mr. ozgur.

hello mr. ozgur
I got the templates to fabricate the mold of the bodywork.
is a method very similar to what you have. published. has helped me a lot of your post.
with respect to the chassis of the car, legal issues in patenting by car in Argentina, I have to build it on a hull of a minivan and reinforced. ford falcon such as Argentina.
the engine for now would be a 6-cylinder in line that comes in that car. to get a V8.
we adjusted the suspension. we thought of spiral springs and short shorts ..
We are investigating this issue.
the big problem is not able to make a chassis dede zero. by legal issue in this country.
thank you very much when they have new public
greetings.

without understanding the message. sorry for the bad translation of google.
Brief.
buy templates.
legally. I can not make chassis. I have to build on another car. example of a ford falcon.
6 cylinder inline engine. to be able to buy a V8.
suspension. must be modified.
Thank you.

so, it's very good time to open new thread for your project @ scratch builders sub-forum.
well English is not my mother tongue too, "google translation" better than nothing and i'm using it for non-English texts.
i remember that when i was in sao paulo/brasil years ago for some gm project, used "altavista babelfish" a lot to find nearby classic/sports car activities in Portuguese language only web sites.
peace,
ozgur

Hola Nicko como estas; tengo un amigo en Buenos Aires que fabrica los Cobras a escala menor, yo viaje a BA a conocer su trabajo y es realmente impresionante lo que han hecho, el se llama Marcelo Foglia y si te interesa te doy su informacion para que te pongas en contacto, creo que pudiera ser muy interesante para ti conocerlo y ver su trabajo.
Yo tengo un negocio en Mexico que armamos y vendemos Kirkham y Hurricane Cobras, esta es my pagina www.kitcarsmexico.com

Muchos Saludos

hola alfredo. muchas gracias por la respuesta.
antes que nada te felicito por tu trabajo. e visitado tu pagina. me deja impresionado. y te digo que por el cambio de moneda me tienta comprarte un kitcar (si me lo vendieras). solo la distancia dificulta un poco.

con respecto a lo que me comentas de tu amigo, yo conozco una gente de finereplicas que hacen cobras en escala para niños, creo que son autos a bateria si no me equivoco. tu te referias a ellos? si es que son ellos, yo me contacte preguntandoles si me vendian una carroceria y su respuesta fue que solo venden el auto completo. y la verdad es un tanto costoso de adquirir. pero si son de muy buena calidad.

confirmame si son ellos los que te refieres u otros asi los visito.
yo soy del interior de argentina de santiago del estero. si viviera en bs as tal vez seria mas facil encontrar alguna carroceria... hace pocos dias pude comprar las plantillas por internet a una casa de mexico.
bueno muchas gracias nuevamente por la atencion de responder mi pedido de ayuda. saludos.

Muchas gracias Nicko por tu opinion de nuestro trabajo.
Efectivamente son ellos y la verdad es que si estan muy bien hechos y sobre todo pensando que lo han fabricado de un modelo de plastico a escala muy pequena y con fotos.
Si en algo te puedo ayudar en tu proyecto avisame y con mucho gusto te oriento en lo que necesites.

Saludos nuevamente.

Alfredo
