New Stripes
It is amazing what a little masking tape, a paint gun, silver paint, and time can do to change the looks of a car!

Open Hood
Shots were sent to Kit Car for them to do a spread. It was overcast in late October when we shot. (Snowed durring setup) Most shots were too dark for the Mag. to use.

Unique Graphics
Among the many unique features of 'Naja evolvere' is the ghosted graphics on the exterior. Ghosting is somewhat common on darker colored, custom cars, but it is almost unheard of on a white base. This is because it is EXTREMELY difficult. The graphics artist and I were ecstatic over the results. Like this picture, most photos do not do the large snake on the hood justice. It was meant to be subtle - most people don't even see it unless they look at it for more than a glance. In bright sunlight, it changes shades from a dull, light grey to a bright, irridescent blue. I also have subtle, 'snakeskin' stripes (the customary dimensions) on the rear. You must observe it in person to gain an appreciation for it! The base is a pearl white.

'Naja evolvere' with wire knockoffs
This is 'Naja evolvere' (the 'evolved Cobra') with 17 inch Dayton (Triple Cross) 100 spoke wire wheels (true knockoffs). The base coat is a pearl white, and it has subtle, ghosted graphics on the hood and truck (and another image under the hood). I built the car to 'explore the envelope' with what is possible to do with a Cobra (at a reasonable - ??? - price) - not just the common (no offense intended) 427/428, 5/7 gauge, Guardsman blue with Wimbledon white stripes Cobra. (If the above is what you REALLY want, then I congratulate you - vive la differance!).
Naja is very heavy at 3200 lbs. (fully loaded), but makes for a TERRIFIC road car (which is what I wanted). It has a 533 cid, programmable EFI engine, C6, a/c, cruise, tilt, stereo/CD (for when you stop), 13 gauge functions, power steering/brakes, sidepipe shields - everything that a Cobra is NOT supposed to have.
It is a West Coast model, being longer and wider than standard. This set of wheels takes 235/45/17 fronts and 285/45/17 rears - Bridgestone Potenza 730s (very aggressive 60k tires).

"Burn Out" by R.C. Martindale
This montage was done by my Son Ray from video footage he shot of me showing off. It is my favorite Windows background in it's full sized original form.
The stripes and emblem background is actually a close up of the car and the pictures are overlaid on it. Pure ingenuity and creativity. He completed it January 31, 1998 after several days work.

She's BEAUTIFUL ! The titanium "ghost" stripes will appear clearly in low light or at night under artificial light! The interior and sidepipes, stereo, softtop fitting, and some trim work are left as of 11-12-02
