Question Huh?

Hal,

Bob O. must be having a "senior" moment (like I have all day!) as the original Cobras did NOT have inboard rear brakes. Out there behind the wheels the way God intended brakes to be.

BTW, the body finish on the SPF cars IS outstanding. Very much what many woud call a "show level" finish. Excellent fiberglass work and paint finish. This is the benefit of low labor costs in SA, they can put a lot of hand work and finish into the product that would run $40.00 per hour here. Plus being able to roll a mold out into the sun to have the 'glass cure solves many of the shrink/warp problems that are more costly to prevent if, say, you were molding glass here in Buffalo today where it is a balmy 5 degrees.
