Default Reworking the new Shelby Cobra

There's lots to like about the new Ford Shelby Cobra design in terms of powertrain and performance potential, but lets see if we can get a little more Cobra an a little less Audi TT into the body. First thing I did was to lower the line at the door area and add a curving rise to the front fenders. The rear fenders received a bit more bulge and were cut back into the bottom of the rocker more like the original 427s. The windshield has been moved slightly rearward to give a longer hood line and the grille opening has been reshaped along with the addition of a lower "oil cooler" opening. The lower front portion of the front fenders has also been rounded a bit but the line returns to the existing spoiler so as not to interfere with under body airflow.
Here is a before & after pic so we can see the effect of the changes.
