Good Choice
Love the wheels, excellent choice.
I love the look of the bodies without the lights, I wonder if anyone has "frenched" the headlights, I think they would give the car a totally different look.

careful Phil
...I saw elsewhere on the site where someone mentioned the French and all sorts of abuse was hurled...
That ride's lookin' real nice Gav - once you fire it up the bug will bite so hard that little car will consume the remaining 10% of your free thought.
Keep up the good work and bold choices - they're workin for you

Frenching
Phil,
Bite your tongue, once you start f***ing with the body shape you don't have a Cobra anymore but some bastardised thing to drive around in.
I didn't agree with Ernie to begin with but I am seeing his point now.
To know what I'm talking about read this thread http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72130
Cheers,
Bryan

Do you mean bastardized like the car in you signature? 
Nobody's got the shape right except Shelby, Kirkham and ERA |

If I am going to spend thousands of hours and dollars on building a car, I will build it how I want, and do not care if it is original or not.
I love the original type cars too, but that is not for me.
I do not like Cobra's with "shopping lists" on the side of the car, but I do not have a go at someone just because they do......

No Matter How Hard You Try
WOW!
Some people tend to forget what a Cobra is or stands for, it was a race car that was put together from what parts Carroll could con out of people and put together a car with a simple idea, make it lite and give it a much power as possible.
While I appreciate and admire an authentic replica, they are still replicas, what does interest me is when a builder much like Carroll puts together a car with what is available today.
I think we should call our cars "Tributes" to the Cobra and enyoy recreating how the original come about in a small way.
If you want to put 22 inch wheels with a pink paint job, go for it, I would like to see it. If you want to be sure you have the correct formula for Guardsman blue when you paint the car well I would like to see that too.
Don't ever squash imagination or creativity, because that is why we have a Cobra to replicate in the first place.
My 50 cents.
Phil
