Hi Mike:
Congrats on your upcoming ERA. It sounds really nice. The black roll bar with the black body will look real nice. Are you going with the black sidepipes too?

It is always nice to have another Cobra here in New England. Be sure to email me with your data and I will put you onto the New England Cobra Enthusiasts mailing list. (see our area of posts in the Cobra Clubs Forum).

Have you defined the silver color for the stripes? There are some "new" darkish titainium silvers that would look great with black, especially if you color code them to the halibrand wheel centers.

There are some fairly famous black 427's, across the pond that are pure black without any stripes. Quite stunning cars without stripes. Much more menacing looking and much less boy racer in apperance. The pure black gives the 427 S/C a much wider appearance for sure. The stripeless look is something perhaps to consider and research. COB 001 is such an example.

Are you doing anything special with the engine compartment or the trunk details? The engine sounds swell. It should be this side of "Perky" with the light flywheel and all. Alot like JoeA's (he is up in your area). I think he had Kraft assemle his powerplant. It is a beautiful mill. Whos heads and intake manifold will you be using? How many carbs?
