Good morning everyone,
I am brand new to the forum and to the SAAC, this is my first post...
I built a Factory Five cobra a few years ago, and now I want to build a FIA approved 427 C
I also happen to be a mechanical engineer. I spent some time redrawing a rear engined birdcage from the Panini Museum, and recovered a few original drawings from italian cars : Maserati 300S, Ferrari 625TRC (had the original in my hands... unbelievable).
Well, I have started to redraw from drawings bought on ebay, but for accuracy and historical fidelity, I am looking for an orginal car to take measurements of the chassis.
> Would anyone know an owner (private, museum), or owns... someone that would be okay for a measurement session ? On this side of the pond... Europe If not, I will travel
I already have called Gentlemen's car (Shelby EU import), and it was not possible.
You can download the two first steps of chassis building for free on my e-store here : www.cobra427competition.com
I also include an example here.
Thank you for your help !!
I will have questions for the body later on
All questions welcome 🤗
