Ron that looks fantastic, tell John he has one of the most beautiful FFR cobras I have ever seen. I have a question, is that a different body? it looks more like a period correct body than the perky butt from factory five.

John has several beautiful pics with the car in a parking lot. The lot appears to be in a park?

Rich I didn't think anyone would see that John didn't use the Factory Five body; it’s a Tri-State body. It has more of an original look with the rectangle light and the rounded trunk. The body has a few more seams that have to be filled but all in all it was a very nice body. Too bad it’s not made any more.

One of the few 427 body styles without side pipes (undercarriage style.)
Beautiful execution of laying down that mirror finish!

Beautiful "street car" look! Very clean lines, nice color- overall it's outstanding.

Well I think I've finished my quest to replicate a street car. Once again my sincerest thanks to Ron for a truly outstanding job on my car. I've had the hood scoop removed and Ron also filled in the rear fender for the street cap. Anyway here are a couple of pics.
