Awesome......

By the way, I see you went with the gray centers, not the polished centers - reason? Are the Torq-Thrusts from American Racing? Where did you purchase the billboards? Also, what size are the wheels (width [front and back]) - I'm assuming that they are 15 inch wheels.

Thanks.

Nice Cobra. How large is the 'Goodyear' lettering on the tires (i.e. 2", 3", etc)?

Thanks for the compliments. I went with gray centers because I recall seeing them in that configuration back in the 1960's on competition Cobras. I've always liked that look. The wheels are American Racing and are 15-inch diameter. The fronts are 7 inches wide and the rears are 9.5. I got the tires through HRE when the car was being finished. The large letters on the tires are 2-and-an-eighth inches tall.

I have original Halibrands with the center painted black, also a good look. Frankly, I wouldn't want to face having to polish the centers, also. I'm thinking that HRE is the only source for billboards.

For some reason, 15 inch wheels look perfect on a Cobra.
