Body by Backdraft MFG. Co., built in 2006. Powered by a
351 Windsor pushing 300hp, Tremic 5 Spd, only 3,082 miles since
completion. The body is a high quality, one-piece GRP (Glass
Reinforced Plastic) moulding, hand laminated, with extra
reinforcing at the wheel arches. Chopped strand mat of
internationally recognized standard, being 450 grams per square
meter (15 ounces per square yard), with Isophtalic resin, 3
layers applied over the entire body and a core mat reinforcing
layer in strategic places. The door surrounds, hood and luggage
compartment surrounds and other strategic points are also
reinforced by applying a chopped fiber compound and an extra
layer of glass mat. The doors, hood and trunk lid are double
skinned for a smooth finish and added rigidity, with steel
inserts in the hinge and lock areas for added durability and
strength. After the body has cured in the mold at an ambient
temperature, it is removed and inspected before being prefitted
to the chassis. The body is then transferred to a state of the
art paint facility, where it undergoes a rigorous quality
inspection prior to any preparation. Any areas of concern are
addressed before the paint preparation procedure starts. The
initial phase of the preparation involves the body being filed
down and filled wherever necessary. The body is then primered
which is post cured in an oven at 75 degrees Celsius for one
hour. After the body has cooled it is then dry-flatened before
it is presented to our quality control for inspection prior to
the paint application. Before the paint can be applied the body
receives a final check coat. After the check coat has been
inspected. The ladder-type chassis is fabricated in a jig from
SAE 1008 2' x 4' hot rolled rectangular steel tubing, with a
1/8” wall thickness, which provides a sturdy chassis, both in
beam strength and in torsional rigidity. The chassis is
reinforced with laser cut steel gusset plates in several areas
for added strength and to rigidize the chassis in high stress
areas. The chassis has been designed to accept a race proven
independent rear suspension with coil over struts in the front.
The differential is fully rubber mounted to the chassis in a
cradle, eliminating mechanical differential noise and providing
a smooth drive. In the final manufacturing phase, the chassis is
ground and sandblasted as preparation before it is epoxy powder
coated for protection from the environment and added visual
impact. The chassis is powder coated using a polyester VX powder
applied at 40-60 microns. This ensures that your Backdraft
Roadster is pleasing to look at, even under the skin and adds to
its durability and lifespan. It also eases under car maintenance
and cleaning. The car comes equipped with a custom fabricated
gas tank. The gas tank is made from Roto moulded Polyethylene and
has a capacity of 18 gallons (70 litres). The car comes standard
with a rack and pinion type steering system. With our optimal
weight distribution in the car and a steering ratio of 4 turns
lock to lock, power steering is not necessary. The steering
column is made from high quality stainless steel tubing
connecting to a CNC machined billet aluminum steering boss. The
car can accommodate a power assisted steering on special order.
The front suspension features cast lower wishbones with a coil
over strut. The strut has been custom fabricated to suit the
needs of the Backdraft Roadster. Also, a stabilizer bar
which assists with the overall fine tuning of the car's handling,
was used,
setting the power safely to the ground is handled by a centrally
guided multilink rear suspension. The suspension is fully height
adjustable which makes it easier to fine tune for street and
track use. The suspension has proven itself both on and off the
race track. In conjunction with the front coil over struts you
are guaranteed a thrilling driving experience. The
roadster features power disc brakes on all four corners. The
front brake discs are 310mm(12.2 inch) in diameter and the rear
is 295mm(11.6 inch). Both the front and the rear come with
ventilated discs as a standard option. The calipers used are all
single piston calipers supplied by ATE. The calipers are fed
from a vacuum assisted booster with a dual stroke master
cylinder. The wheels are a Halibrand style aluminum knock
off one piece, which comes in 15”
Standard:
Front: 15" x 7.5" with a 235/60 x 15" tire
Rear: 15" x 9.5" with a 295/50 x 15" tire
The cockpit of the car features 60's styling combined with
modern day efficiency. The car comes fully carpeted with a high
grade carpet. Overlay mats with bound edges are a standard
feature in the cockpit. The seats come upholstered in high
quality leather. The driver’s side seat comes standard with an
adjustable seat slider. The interior of the car is not only
fully functional, but it is also comfortable and can accommodate
a taller driver (in excess of 6”). The interior is completed
with a wood rim steering wheel, self canceling turn signal and a
full complement of 7 instruments. The instruments featured in
the roadster are all electronic which have proven to be more
accurate and reliable. The important instruments are easily
visible. With the fuel tank located underneath the luggage compartment
floor, the Backdraft Roadster offers very usable luggage space
that can easily accommodate a weekend’s luggage for two or your
weekly groceries. Precision crafted mild steel headers
with polished aircraft quality 304 stainless steel side pipes
come as standard equipment. Stainless steel exhaust heat shields
are also standard equipment on the backdraft roadster. These are
custom made for the car and can be ceramic coated as an option.
The car comes standard with a stainless steel driver side roll
bar, which comes mounted to the frame. The roll bar is made from
grade 304 stainless and then it is completed with a high polish.
This is a fully functional 2 piece unit. Custom stainless
steel/rubber trim rings are used to complete the installation of
the roll bar. You'll want to experience the thrill of the
ride in the driver's seat of this quality performance Cobra, you
won't be disappointed! |
