Thanks Al - that's great! Lets hope J actually reads the thread and sees that the largest gathering of Cobra enthusiasts in the world is really excited about the car he is building but would love it a lot more with a few important (to us) styling changes.
Like the GT40 the Cobra is too much of an automotive icon to be able to be captured in a handful of token styling cues on a completely different looking car. The Cobra's racing heritage and reputation as the ultimate street legal racecar have a lot to do with its appeal. But there is a lot more to it than that. Cobras understandably pull a crowd in the US and Europe where people recognize them and know of the heritage and rep. I live down here in the Caribbean where most people have never even heard of a Cobra (car, that is) -and guess what - it pulls a crowd wherever it is parked. Even in the company of a dressed up SLK, M3's and a host of radically modified Japanese performance cars; men, women and children gravitate towards the Cobra; much to the frustration of the other car owners. That shape; however accidentally it may have evolved; the curves and the overall look of the car make it unlike anything ever sold to the public before or since. Now its going to be done all over again. Lets try to help see that it's done right.
Here's a side view for Mr. Bruce. I don't have a good side pic of the existing design to work from yet so expect this one to improve.
