If your serious about building the aluminum car, the place to start is to order the DVDs and VHS tapes from Fournier Enterprises. These are very professionally done. Still interested? Make a reservation to go to Detroit and attend a workshop. Still interested? Start pricing out the tools. You may decide that buying a Kirkham is an easier route. They make an awfully good product for the price. I'm just a glutton for punishment and have never done anything the easy way. Just ask any one of my ex-wives.  |

No doubt. Kirkham is the best. But it is HARD to spread the cost out over time (and effort) when the next step after the enine is a $50,000 roller. I'm raising two boys, building a custom guitar business, working a career, paying for a home and saving for college & retirement. Whats a smuck like me with a cobra problem to do? I sure as HELL ain't gonna give bankers my tool money in interest!! Basturds them all.
Like anything, once you got the tools, you can "eat" for a lifetime.
I come in here (and elsewhere) every so often. All a guy like me wants is plans, advice, and encouragement. I would be willing to go the glass route also... but I need plans!

I need to add this story. 2 years ago, a number of decided to go deep sea fishing in Destin FL, (families in tow). Went down to the docks and finally chose a desperate skipper. VERY nice boat. 52 footer. Twin Deisels. Double flybridges. Cabin was sweet and had excellent head and sleeping quarters. I got to jawing with the first mate. Maybe, he had 4 teeth in his face. Skinny as bones would allow. He finally told me he had built this boat (and two others like it.) After that, I started noticing things about the craft that led me to believe him. Yet, it was an excellent boat. Beautiful.
So, if a 4 toothed guy with skin wrapped bones can build a 52 foot twin diesel fishing boat, why can I not build a cobra body?
Plans and advice. Thats whats needed.
Mike
