I've been thinking of how to take my Cobra to the next level, for everything I wanted in a 289 FIA Cobra is accomplished: 331 stroker, TKO-600, glossy black paint, leather seats, driving lights, fire suppression system. My remaining work on my Cobra is comprised of
oil changes, tuning, and occasionally repainting the side pipes. Oh, and washing, polishing and waxing it.
I drive it everywhere. Down to the grocery store, out to dinner, down to the hardware store / lumber yard. It gets a lot of attention, but there has to be something more. I thought of custom paint, or a bigger, more badass engine, louder pipes, blower, nitrous... but nothing seemed necessary or even useful, and certainly didn't add to the uniqueness of my own Cobra.
Then it occurred to me: Nobody, and I mean n-o-b-o-d-y, has installed a lumber rack on their Cobra! Think of it, take a rusty (ahem, "patina") lumber rack from an old pickup and mount it on a Cobra! Talk about getting your Cobra to stand out! I thought about mounting the rack to the quick-jacks, but that wouldn't look right at all, and the quick jacks most likely couldn't hold the weight of a stack of railroad ties. I figure it would be best to mount it directly to the frame through the fiberglass, like the roll bar.
Anyhow, now that I've mentally made this jump it occurred to me that I couldn't be alone and some of you guys may have other brilliant ideas ready to grace a Shelby Cobra.
So, any ideas? Seen anything similar or along the same lines? Pictures?
