how does one ensure that the engineering is sufficient to account for the difference in behaviour between steel and aluminium?Richard Griffiths

From my reasonable experience with AC Cobra 'replicas', with steel or ally frames with fibreglass or ally bodies, or with kevlar/carbon composite tubs/frames and various bodies, the torsional rigidity requirements in Australia would be difficult to satisfy in a Porsche 'replica' without a well designed and tested frame. Expensive stuff.Comment

Our Qld inspection guys would know and if the car transferred states ... it is an attractive option however for panels that don't affect structural rigidity.
In Turkey where rules are more liberal, a friend of mine Ozgur, who was chief design engineer with SAAB, decided he wanted to scratch build a Cobra. Starting with a set of photographs, to a CAD design format and then a wooden buck to later 'glass and also ally cars...
