How to Build Cobra Kit Cars + Buying Used - Step-by-Step Assembly Procedures. Complete Guide to Cobra Kit Manufacturers

La Shelby Cobra originale a marqué l'histoire de l'automobile. Ce roadster britannique léger, équipé d'un puissant moteur Ford V8, a établi de nouvelles références en matière de performance, remporté de nombreuses courses et est devenu une icône.

Malgré une production limitée à six ans et environ 1 000 exemplaires, la Cobra est restée très prisée. À la fin des années 1970, des entreprises ont commencé à produire des répliques sous forme de kits, permettant aux passionnés d'assembler leur propre voiture. Plus tard, des fabricants ont proposé des châssis roulants et des modèles entièrement assemblés.

L'auteur D. Brian Smith, ancien rédacteur en chef du magazine "Kit Car", propose un guide détaillé sur l'assemblage d'une réplique moderne de la Cobra, en particulier le populaire Factory Five Cobra Mk4. Il explique comment choisir le bon kit en fonction du budget et des performances souhaitées et donne des conseils pratiques sur la planification, les coûts et les outils nécessaires. Des instructions illustrées pas à pas aident à construire une réplique fiable et sécurisée.

Le livre comprend également un guide d'achat des répliques d'occasion, avec des conseils pour inspecter, évaluer et essayer ces modèles déjà montés.

How to Build A Fiberglass Car - Based on the Construction of the Victress Sports Car

The original contributors, W. I. Boyce-Smith, Edmond Kelly and Hugh Jorgensen, all played a significant role in the design, development and construction of the fiberglass bodied Victress sports car. While the technology of constructing impact resistant lightweight automobile bodies has advanced considerably since this book was first published, many of the exotic materials and composites in use today are beyond the capabilities available to the average home-based "special" builder.

However, this comprehensive and informative book, written in easy to understand language, puts the capability of designing and building a custom bodied special within reach of the home-based enthusiast. The principles it contains are just as relevant today as they were some 50 years ago when this book was first written.

The design process is clearly explained, the raw materials required are described, and the construction process is presented in an easy-to-follow step by step procedure. Obviously, this book would also be a valuable reference for anyone contemplating repairing, refurbishing or restoring a fiberglass bodied automobile. This edition also includes a 40 page bonus section featuring reproductions of Victress sales literature.

Out-of-print and unavailable for many years, this book is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market and we are pleased to be able to offer this print-on-demand reproduction as a service to all those automotive "special" builders and enthusiasts worldwide.
