Agreed. Aside from the few negative posters here and there lampooning it for it's imperfections and because it's not a Kirkham, most of the commenters in the various forums appreciate it for what it is instead of what it isn't. Fitting a Kirkham body onto a "heavily modified" FFR chassis had to take some doing, as evidenced by the rectifiable cut-and-join seams below the doors. At the end of the day it's a pretty cool looking aluminum bodied Cobra and only discerning cobraphiles will recognize the non-original look of the rear body sections. There are plenty of respected and overly praised 'glass-bodied replicas that deviate even further from the "correct" body shape and stance. It can't command typical aluminum Cobra prices, but hopefully somebody will make a deal on an interesting replica with alloy body bragging rights.
