That Danbury Mint model and the alloy Kirkham body sure are very similar (i.e., same material).

Without the alloy body, then your weekend polishing job will definitely be shorter with everything else that's aluminum on a Cobra (e.g., nearly everything in the engine compartment, miscellaneous panels, wheels, gauge bezels, blah, blah, blah).
