I wanted something that harkened back to the time when the world was less litigious and less restrictive. Having a car that looks like a 60's icon on top as well as under the skin was the goal.

The billet chassis is truly amazing piece and has it's place...However, I would not choose to have it under my Cobra. If you were to put it under a equally sophisticated and aerodynamic body that would be really appealing car.

There are just some of us that don't want a stereo or a/c in our cobra while it is nice to have in our modern car.
KMP480,

I do understand what you mean about harkening back to the earlier days. As for an equally sophisticated aerodynamic body, hopefully that is in the works one of these days!

Sal, no offense taken at all! I knew what you meant.
