That will be his 4th Cobra. He just finished the flip top with the 427 cammer. He has 3 of them and needs a 4th to even out the look in his garage. And he drives them. He does a lot of rally racing and at the last race a spinner came off the rear wheel and the hub came loose which resulted in some damage to the aluminum fender well. I have offered to bring one of them u0 here and store it for him but he drives them all.

I think the color will lend itself nicely to that body style

There's always something cool cooking at the Kirkhams.

Oh man that is pretty! I like the bronze cars the best. It is more unique then the alu ones, but not as in your face as the copper ones.

Congrats Darren by the way

I believe the line is when they start to use paint instead of the raw material to achieve the affect.

Along the lines of the following:
Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication"
