I appreciate all the feedback from everyone. Thank you.

The car is a very dark blue, nearly black. It definately heats up in the sun - and the FE under the hood helps heat it up too! I knew a guy with a Contemporary that showed the same rippling effect in the upper fenders and he told me that he had seen it in other Cobras. When the car was about 3-5 years old, I started to see some odd changes in the body (in one area, there is a spot that looks like a reverse dent like you see on original alloy bodies) so I called my Shelby dealer and he told me they had repainted nearly all of their fiberglass cars. I suppose I'll try and live with mine for a while longer, then paint it again.

Nuts.
