Morphing a Cobra into the P51 concept

[NewYorkGuy]

Is this car street legal?

Dan that is correct, when the exhaust is switched to the 12 side ports they will be open header. But then can be switched to a single chambered undercarriage exhaust that will turn out in front of the rear tire like the original side pipes

NYGuy legal in Ct since the ports are closed and not operatial during street use.

But then again were I come from this is considered "Street legal"

Looks great! I can't wait to hear it running through those ports. Don't forget to hook up the flame-throwers.

My pilot license sure comes in handy

The video is of hidden under carriage exhaust that electronically switches to the open header side ports. I used a cell phone for the recording and the sound is nothing like it sounds in person but you can hear the tone and volume change

I've been waiting for an update.

That's brilliant. I love the overall look, but I don't think I'd be brave enough to do the same to my Kirkham, although I have often thought about a P51 colour scheme in vinyl, but the chequerboard nose would be very difficult to get right (unless anyone has any ideas ).

We need to see some good quality pictures of it out in daylight now.

Congratulations and very well done to all concerned.

Ron,

I like the video. The hankie is a nice touch!

Looks like everything is painted and reinstalled. Did you end up painting or dyeing the ports?

Paul,

We needed a paint job. Ron helped us take it up a notch or two.
