Thanks Spookypt, it looks sort of like that.
Needs a bit more work, which it will get in due time. The photo just doesn't show you just how old it looks, it basically looks old and worn out with it's old acrylic paint work, worn leather seats etc, just like a 60's Cobra. I love it. It attracts a lot of attention.

Yeah, that would look trick.
I saw a Cobra the other day that had polished stainless ones recessed into the guards so they were flush. Looked quite effective.

That torneau hides seeing the curve from the rear, but oh yes, it has the distinctive SC curve. You can see the real aggressive curve in the bonnet, run a straight edge across the front guards at the wheel centre and it will touch the bonnet. The curve continues through the cockpit. The photos don't show you, but the originals have a lot taller sides than a lot of the replicas here, but with the originals everything is scaled up . I never understood why I had so much trouble fitting knock-off wheels to my old RMC when it was running the same track as an original. It wasn't till I measured the total width at the front and rear guards, the RMC body was significantly narrower than an original even ignoring the lack of flared lips on the rear. Argh.
