Well, this has an alloy body to start with, original chassis etc. Dunno who told you they were glass bodied kit cars, but this one sure isn't.Chris_Hamilton wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 11:23 amNot trying to get an argument started cause I totally respect you and your work. But the later Cobras were little more than Ford/Shelby authorized kit cars. Fiberglass bodies instead of aluminum, "NOS" parts that really weren't. Shelby was a salesman and a darn good one.KnightEngines wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 7:04 amThe car is absolutely gorgeous, show quality everywhere.
Stick shift.
It's one of the 50 or so cars built by shelby in the 90's from new old stock parts - so it's the real thing.
Rollmaster was off the shelf - the factory is right here in my hometown of Adelaide in south Australia.

Some are. I repaired one for a customer that was fiberglass. I was under the impression that all the CSX.... continuation ones were. My bad.
High quality metal, body and paint work

I think, and I could be wrong, that the 1st 50 were all built from NOS parts, but demand was there so they continued building them with glass bodies etc.Chris_Hamilton wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 7:26 pm Some are.

That's a windsor tunnel port, not an FE.1972ho wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 9:47 pm https://youtu.be/WhnXqdxoKqY Are they flowing any better than these tunnel port originals.
Re: 512 cube all alloy FE tunnel port
Yep, but did you hear how much they flowed on the intake side.
