I think the main issue is that it needs to be lowered. This is my Hi-Tech; if you look at the rear wheel it’s closer to the front of the fender opening than to the rear, but being lowered it doesn’t accentuate the space behind the tire like the blue car does.

Thanks, Bob! If I could change one thing I would remove the white stripes, as I've always loved solid red Cobras, but I think I can live with them. 
On the Armor All thing, at one point in my life I guess I was guilty of over-applying it. Then, as Tom mentioned, I noticed that it sprayed all over the paint and made a mess of things. Now I put the low-gloss stuff on and then wipe it down after it sits for a bit. I like black sidewalls, but not black sidewalls I can see my reflection in.  |

If I eventually paint our cobra, it will be 1960's Ford Candy Apple Red, solid / no stripe.
I only use Aerospace 303 protectant on my Goodyear Billboards, for UV protection.

Thank you.
I built that car to replicate the car I would have ordered from Shelby in 1965/66 had I been around to order a car at that time.
