Back in the saddle.
The car is now painted and finally got a chance to give it a run on the weekend.

The light was fadeing so you cannot see the paint colour and stripes real well.

And they say a picture tells a thousand words! How far over 95db would that be? Sounds awesome Phil.
Listen carefully - about 30 secs into the video you can just hear somebody telling their kid to get off the road, right before you give it a poke.  |

Noise
It is fairly noisy,
The idle is up to high, it is reasonable when you are short shifting arround.
Yeah, that is my teenage kids showing sibling love as usual.

Better Pic
Here is a better pic of how the paint looks, it is still hard to see the full effect, the cameras don't pick it up properly.
The car is to be featured in Street Machine soon, we had the Photo shoot last night. Now that is a very long a boring process. The photographer is the same guy that shot the cover in the lastest issue.

Absolutely beautiful!!!!
Mitzy, you've gone and done it now! You've raised the standards on Cobra paintjobs! It is gorgeous! Can't wait till you get your first chip!   I'll have the camera ready. Once again buddy, perfect. As far as engine and sound goes, you've done us Ford folk proud!

Gawd!!!! that is just......What are those things....skulls?
And you call us darksiders. That's the most dark, most....most....I'm lost for words!....no wonder on the video the kids were warned to get off the bluddy road!!
Seriously Phil, that is just simply amazing mate. Talk about lifting the bar.
Hey, are you gonna be afraid of scratching that on the track?. 
and...
When are ya gonna wipe those finger prints off the bonnet?. I keep checking back and they're still there.

Nice to see a photo Phil that comes close to doing it justice.

Ford Power
Les,
This part was inspired by your deflection to the dark side.
Thanks For the comments, the paint is something you have to experience first hand to get the full effect.

Message to all Darksiders .....
There is a reason Phil has gone to the expense of these murals.
He expects that we are gonna be distracted by checking out these skulls in our mirrors.
Don't fall for it.
