Building our AC Cobra 289 LeMan

As we have now got the rolling chassis to a reasonably finished state, we decided to put some time into starting the body and getting it ready to put back onto the chassis.. There are 4 main jobs we plan to get done before this can happen.

1. cutting the holes and fitting the side vents, - link to post
2. cutting the hole for the peddle box – link to post (actually fitting of the peddle box and master cylinder will be done once the body and chassis are together),
3. painting the engine bay and peddle box white – link to post (matching the appearance of the original 289 Cobra engine bays)
4. manufacture and fit the engine bay heat shields (much more details to come on the heat shields)

Working with glass fibre is quite a messy and dusty business and would highly recommend wearing a face mask for these jobs.
