Her favorite color (Stripes were all rage then) would finish it off nicely. If I ended up with it, I was going have Steve (Volk) see if he or SAAC could come up with pictures of said Cobra. Steve already knows about ERA2080 as we talked about doing something special with it @ the open house in Sep. I'll give you a ring Bill, we'll talk K? Cheers Tom.
I know I saw a vintage picture within the last year, of a similar stripe configuration on an original CSX2000 series, maybe 2160,2255,or 2565 . I have an email out to Ned with a picture of the nose stripe and a request for assistance
