Excaliber -

They are adhesive backed vinyl -- they look remarkably like paint -- very thin material, very dense color.

Sounds like what Turk used, and I gotta tell you I'm impressed with that stuff.

Love the old flying horsey.

Mitty,

Car looks great and I totally agree on Tom's work. Met him at KMP Summit and spent some time at his shop during the LV SAAC meet. I'll be taking KMP253 for his his treatment this month.

I'm interested to hear more about the "cv" solution -- check your pm or email me at sshurts@comcast.net.

thanks
Scott

Turk, did your cobra oversteer like crazy before the alignment? It looks like 3/8 toe out? Tom is a great guy. My specs are similar. I run 1.5 negative camber in front with 4.5 degrees of castor. In back 5/8 negative camber, 1/8 toe in. I am assuming he eliminated the bump steer which is a the biggest driving improvement. I tried mine without the full windshield. I found out quickly that the cobra would push like crazy on the track. The full length windshield does provide some down force. The car looks great. Scott

Default Looks Fantastic

Mitty,

Really like the looks of the stripes. The original Cobra is in a book that I have. It's of course beautiful as well. This is a great thread. Thanks for sharing the photo's with us.
