period correct pipes and roll hoop
I've heard and read that the original Cobra's had side pipes and roll hoop painted black. In fact, I've read this in my "new" copy of the AC and Cobra Original Restorer's Guide (a Christmas present from my lovely wife!).
However, on the cutaway poster of CSX3022 the side pipes and the roll hoop are both chrome.
I like the chrome pipes and hoop, for I plan on a black Cobra and like the contrast, but I also like the "period correct" concept.
So, here's the question: Are the chrome side pipes and roll hoop "period correct" for the 427 S/C? Are there any original Cobra owners out there that can shed some light on this subject? What are some example cars that have the chrome, by CSX number?
Oh, and before you tell me "do what you want", rest assured that I will. I'd just like to know if the chrome side pipes and roll hoop are period correct to the original Cobras from the 60's.
Cheers,
DKing
