One of the items I wanted to replace on the Cobra was the Quick Jacks. The ones on the car were polished stainless steel, that did not have the greatest finish, and the welds were not very clean.

So the last couple weekends I milled some out of aluminum angle. Thought about polishing them, but after I did a quick brushed finish on them I decided I like them better.

One side benefit was I knocked a little over 5 pounds off the car. I know, I could do the same by passing up some beer and pizza, but I would still be ugly, and this way the car looks better.

The pictures show both versions, both on the car and on the work bench.
