    New AK Cobra project

    Hi all
    Wanted to introduce myself to the forum. Just bought a superb AK rolling chassis from Anthony (pro-builder) off the forum. It was a pleasure dealing with him. Next step, drop a Chevy engine and gear box in. Many thanks to Pete from Alfreton for help and support so far.

    Well done Ben and welcome aboard.
    Pete did say that he'd picked the roller from Anthony for someone else.
    What's your timing plan? Years to completion or months?

    Thanks for your kind comments Ben

    Im only ever a phone call, PM or email away should you need any help. You should receive the dash and heater box cover direct from AK this week.

    Keep me posted and send me some pics of the completed car so I can put against my records.

    Good luck with the build, now go have a beer or two on all the money you saved, not to mention the skin, blood, hair , sweat and tears that were saved too. Im still healing from building that chassis.
