does it get better than that!
|
No it gets no better.
Actually, that was a great day in my life: 3 1/2 hours traveling with a little doll that said (refering to the scenery) without prompting "This is beautiful, Grandpa" among many other things, but not complaining once! |
it can make ya forget all the other bs going on. what a diff a little voice can make!
|
Looks great Larry!
Cheers, Jim |

Backdraft
MT,
Very nice Backdraft! What color is she painted? What make are the wheels? Larry |
Larry,
Your data panel says "...real Magnesium Halibrands". Are those the chromed wheels? I did not know that mag could be plated. How do they hold up and does the mag continue to deteriorate under the chrome? I do know that aluminum can be successfully plated. Thanks, |
very nice, where did you get the wheels?

Magnesium
Quote:
The magnesium ones I had polished and they looked terrific: http://www.primequip.net/images/65%2...m%20lr%20a.JPG But magnesium wheels are hard to keep up. So they are relegated on one or two times a year use: http://www.primequip.net/images/65%2...8/103_0547.JPG For street use (read: "easy to maintain") an extra set of rims were purchased and Serpent Express had them chromed. Very pleased with the results. http://www.primequip.net/images/65%2...SC/trigo_s.jpg acks996 The same setup can be bought from Vintage Wheels in either 15" or 17" pin drive. They are 6-spoke like the original 427 Cobra. http://www.primequip.net/images/65%2...SC/CSX3002.jpg |
Paint and wheels by Backdraft
The paint is Indigo blue with pearl white stripe
The wheels are also from Backdraft, special ordered chromed. I got tired of polishing the aluminum ones on my first Cobra. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../Pic_27-sm.JPG |
MT,
Your roadster is stunning! Larry |
Larry,
Thanks for the clarification. "...But magnesium wheels are hard to keep up. So they are relegated on one or two times a year use:" Sooo true but you are much smarter than I. Mine have been on since '92. In the damp and humid northeast it's at least a bi-weekly chore or they go permanently green. Can't buy 'em anymore... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...MC_Medium_.jpg |
Mag Wheels
Very nice roadster!!
Love those mag wheels! Is your car dark blue, or black? http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...P7250004MM.JPG |
Blue & Chrome is stunning! Nice looking ride!
|
Thanks Larry.
It's custom paint. Porsche cobalt blue base with two Radiance candy colors over, blue and violet. Now I have to kill you. :) |
Thank you Larry! You do the same from me to your family too, please.
Jim |
Looks good.
