Default Tony Starks Daytona

Hi All
Congratulations to Tony Stark who came over with his just registered Daytona Coupe . This is one of 6 FF5 kits we brought over in 08 . After many
years making changes to the chassis so it would comply to Australian standards and other things like the intrusion door frame and so many more items to many to list we where able to satisfy the engineer so he could submit details to transport .
Warwick.

Fantastic News ....Congratulations and all the best to Tony....a very nice car.

A LOT of work by Tony, and Warwick Harrison ( Cobra Kits ) has gone into the making of this car.

There are a few more of these bubbling along up here in Queensland, and hopefully they're not too far off rego as well.

Here's a couple of nice shots taken at last years Nationals.








Cheers,
Warren.

Cool

I guess he'll need a Daytona after crushing the Kirkham in an earlier test flight...

Warwick

Well done! I am sure DaTony will be behind the wheel for a few days, trying to wear the smile off his face. A fantastic looking car.

Lovely car Tony - I have seen it in the flesh and it is very well constructed. Very original all round. Congrats to you both.

Sweet looking car Tony.

Couldn't you get S.H.I.E.L.D to help keep the government off your back?

What a fantastic looking piece of kit, but I have to ask.... What colour blue is that (I know, I know you've been asked that a thousand times). It's a fanstastic shade of blue.

Cheers

Nice Daytona.

Is it just me or does it look like that Cobra is wearing a Gimp mask?

Cheers

I know people want to protect their nice paint work but I've just never been a fan of car bras on any vehicle. It's like my inlaws who have an ugly looking cover on their couch to protect it and keep it looking new but you never get to see or appreciate the nice piece of furniture underneath.

Cheers

I'm pretty sure that "Bra" has only ever been seen on that one Nationals trip....Not sure how much of a success it was.

Certainly not a "day to day" option......and Mike you're right...it was behind me on the trip down, and it looked very much like a Gimp mask.

Not that I've ever seen one of those sneaking up behind me or anything...it's just that.....er....um....

Nice Daytona !

Cheers,
Warren.
