Looks great, enjoy! You may want to adjust that hoop behind our head or at least pad it. Looks like if you accelerate hard or get hit by someone else your head will hit it  |

Congrats on the Cobra.
Nice area to cruise around, be safe and keep the rubber down.

Great looking ride Scott. You're going to have a lot of personal satisfaction from that decision. Like 1795 commented above, the roll bar needs some attention. It is not just the idea of banging your head into it.
When we first get these cars we are at one of the high risk points in the ownership cycle. We reach another one after we've had the car for a while and start to take it for granted.
In either scenario the situation we are at most risk for personal injury in, is the upside down scenario. You want your roll bar to be above your head not the other way around.
You hope you will never need it, but if you do, there is absolutely no substitute — especially if you have shoulder harnesses. You can always replace car parts, not so much with body parts.

Sure looks that way - more offset / backspacing should fix that. I know American Racing has 2-piece 'custom' versions of the Torq Thrust wheels, if you only need / want to replace the rear wheels. You can pick your backspace to get the look you want.

The "War Dept" and I are gonna look for wheels until we find a set that catches our fancy. I had a little time today and polished the outside of one. Made a huge difference. She wants chrome. I'm in no big rush.

The offsets on the FF wheels may work for you, but they're not chrome: Roadster - Wheels - Factory Five Parts Catalog
American Racing has their VN427 wheels available polished, plus custom backspacing: American Racing : Heritage: VN427 Shelby Cobra
Vintage Wheels (advertiser and supporter on Club Cobra) has both bolt-on and pin-drive wheels: Vintage Wheels, Hot Rod and Muscle car
Happy hunting!
