On the fence with color on the roadster..(exhaust out back).. looking at mink silver it might have too much of a blue hue ,
also considering Indigo blue(no stripes) or Mercedes DB180 silver(1958 300SL color).

In case you weren't aware, it's a well known fact that Indigo Blue is the fastest color.😉

Every one knows, Princes Blue was the fastest color! That's why old Shelby got AC to stop painting Cobra's that color. The Viking Blue and Guardsman Blues just couldn't keep up! Cheers, Dennis

Right on, Buzz. There are photos of Bob in the car, either on here or over at the Uniquecobra.com site. And, I think Bob is over 7 feet... but don't quote me on that. A search will find the posts...

Yes, unique has done under-car exhausts for others. There is a write up of Juan's car that shows it, over on the Uniquecobra.com site.

The color is the hardest part of the build! You might find that you change it a few times in the process...

You can do some really cool stuff with oval exhaust pipes, no need to choke the motor with small pipes, looking at some NASCAR style pipes now myself.
How about Avalanche Grey with satin black stripes… that would be super cool.
