Looks fantastic, is that a pearl paint that you used? Have you used Upol Raptor for a stone guard/under-body finish, heard good reports about it. Uses a two part epoxy urethane compared to others that are water based. Well done.

Mate, wtf... Empty passenger seat?
Where was my invite?

Shameless aren't I. Yep that's me totally lacking in class and decorum.

Nicely done. I was wondering when you might post about it.

Thank you! Actually, it's not a pearl. It's a three layer candy. Haven't used Raptor yet. Thinking about it though.

Looks superb, i like the rake on the windscreen and the way the tyres/rims fill the guards, great stance and colour, hope to see it again at the nationals, derek

Beautiful car! A credit to everyone involved.

Buzz · #**188** (**permalink**) 02-15-2017, 05:32 AM

Absolutely beautiful!! I've been holding my breath waiting to see what you'd turn out. Fantastic job - great stance. This is one great looking Cobra!

got to agree with Buzz - STUNNING is the only word i can think of - great colour combo, love the black exhausts and everything.

Thank you for your words of encouragement Derek, Anthony, Buzz and Gary. So glad that you like what I have done. ;-)

She makes me smile every time I look at her. There isn't anything I would have done differently. It has turned out exactly as I'd envisoned.

A big reason for this is the Absolute Pace kit. Craig and co have done a brilliant job on their product that has enabled first time builders such as myself to build something like this!

Cheers,
Sime

Awesome car and looks steller.

I am sure that one day will be able to look at in person.

Perhaps a summernats 'top paint' contender..... nah, just enjoy driving and each stone chip is from a drive with a smile.

Done hesitate to go nuts with photos, never gets old.

Continuing with the finishing touches.

Painted on the Goodyear Eagle Billboard stenciling on my Avons (went with the Goodyear art as I'm not a fan of the Avon stencils). I did a distressed finish to give them that racecar/used look. Also fitted the windings, sunvisors and Pace steering wheel centre emblem on my Mono Retro wheel.
