Why not carry your talented design sensibilities further to inform all aspects of the car?
Thank you for your kind words!

While I can't comment on the Skunkworks, the billet chassis is a preliminary exercise for another car. Let's just say, Thomas and my dream car--or the crowning jewel of our combined automotive talents, experience, and dreams. It has nothing to do with Cobras--and everything to do with what a modern car of today could and should be. One day I hope to see it drive down the road.
