Gotta love chrome

[race-it]

Just finished building chrome pannels for my engine compartment. I was not concerned about weight as much as ease of cleaning and durability. I used thin mirror stainless. The weight difference is not enough to make any difference. My cobra is an Everett-Morrison. The pannels are set out 1/4 inch to allow for cooling. The front pannel covers up the empty space when useing a small block engine, The under hood is also panneled so it reflects the engine when standing behind the car. The large oval in front is fitted with mirror stainless with chrome moulding that gives depth and a snake skin like apperance when reflecting the mirror image of the radiator grill. I also installed deep blue lights in the front that give an awsome look in the night. I may get a ticket for that. Over the top or OK what do you think? If anyone likes the look and wants me to make them a set for their cobra, let me know.

Thanks for looking.

Since you had to ask, I'd say it's a bit much. You'll need sunglasses anytime you open your hood. Other than that, I think you have a very nice Cobra. Good luck.

Be very careful at a car show if you leave your hood open, I have seen pictures of how much damage a small polished air cleaner cover can do when reflecting the sun for a short amount of time... I can imagine that no matter where the sun is you will have the opportunity to burn your hood off.

I like it, but I am sucker for my own relfection... hey, somebody has to be.
