Default Ladies and Gents, the Ironman Movie Cobra is officially completed.

The uncrushed Kirkham that was built for the Movie Ironman, starring Robert Downey Jr., is officially completed. 250 break in miles and all systems are go. What a great adventure and a wonderful car. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to take such a well engineered car with a unique history and turn it into a fully functional replica. I will post a full detailed ad in the for sale section tomorrow.
Thanks for all the help and advice over the past 18 months! I greatly appreciate all those that took time out of their busy schedules to answer my questions and offer words of encouragement.
Enjoy the pictures!

I enjoyed watching you bring the particular Cobra to life. Sorry to see you're not going to enjoy it more, before selling it off.

Looks great! What would be neat would be to get Robert Downey Jr to sign the dash.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Yeah, i tried that. I sent the dash leather and it was promptly returned stating that Robert Downey Jr. was on vacation and that he does not sign such things. ha
