The original comp and s/c cars had the rivets around the front of the hood. I believe they were there to keep the hood skin from peeling off during high speed runs.
The Scoop was riveted on. It was a glass scoop. Many rivet patterns apply to the hood scoop.
All pics of originals with side pipes I have seen were painted black.
I do not know about the visors and windwings.

Thanks, Mike.
In the 60's I saw a Cobra - perhaps the last real one that I've ever seen. Perhaps it was just a mirage, but I'm just looking to know what each part on the exterior body was made of. It appears that virtually all of the parts on kits are formed from the original, but I wonder about plastic versus metal versus glass. As I look at replacing stuff, like visors and wings I would a least like to know and consider the exact same as original.
Perhaps I'll see you and the group in Kingman as you pass through. The Air and Car Show is early next month at the Kingman airport - at least we call it an airport!
