Not Ranked
I finally got a chance to finish the latest round of refinements to our "2005" Cobra. Lights are a bit rounder though still faired in and laid back for streamlining. Radiator opening is slightly larger and rounder and mesh inserts are added to brake & oil cooler ducts. Some additional rake has been added to the windshield and the sidepipes are larger. Rear view is included showing the LeMans style filler cap and the fine mesh screens in the retractable roll bars to cut buffeting at speed. There is also a "street" Roadster version with no sidepipes or hoodscoop, smaller side vents, chrome bumpers and some changes to the front end.
The Daytona coupe is also done and shares the same platform as the roadster but no sheetmetal other than the doors. Still needs some refinement and a set of must/want criteria.
Edit: note the small rear lip spoiler on the 427's trunklid - intended to recall the FIA "suitcase bulges", aid aero and house the third brake light.
