Yes, it's Fran. I was up there picking up a new chassis and visited with him for a while about it. It was quite an undertaking for them. He said the movie guys were more interested in the originality of the cars than he was expecting, even to the point of getting accurate taillights for the Ferrari's. Not an easy item to source and most people would never notice a detail like that.

edit: oh, and yes, it was fun having the cobras at the event.
