				 Reworking the new Shelby Cobra 
 There's lots to like about the new Ford Shelby Cobra design in terms of powertrain and performance potential, but lets see if we can get a little more Cobra an a little less Audi TT into the body.  First thing I did was to lower the line at the door area and add a curving rise to the front fenders. The rear fenders received a bit more bulge and were cut back into the bottom of the rocker more like the original 427s. The windshield has been moved slightly rearward to give a longer hood line and the grille opening has been reshaped along with the addition of a lower "oil  cooler" opening. The lower front portion of the front fenders has also been rounded a bit but the line returns to the existing spoiler so as not to interfere with under body airflow.  
Here is a before & after pic so we can see the effect of the changes.
