Under the Snakeskin....
Here is an unusual shot of the bottom side of an original 427 Cobra with everything but the body removed:
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...01703178-2.jpg This is typical of doing a "ground up" resto on an original Cobra. Removing the body will damage it, so normally you would leave the body panels intact, unless you had some so bad that they needed to be replaced. The car shown here is CSX3178, Carroll Shelby's personal Cobra, that he has owned since new. This shot was taken at Shelby's shop in Vegas in 1997, before they moved to the facility at the track. The car is now Red with a 428, C6 automatic, and painted Sunburst knock-off wheels. regards, cobrajeff |
thinking about the flowing curving lines of the body as seen from the normal view makes this view appear all the more the art it truly is.

...a bit of trivia on that car...
I have notes that indicate that this was the body that was used to make the molds for the CSX4000 'glas cars. |
