Aluminum Body

Hi Guys,

With that beautiful body work you all do in mind I have a ?. Has anyone ever just put some type of clear coating over the aluminum body without painting it ?

Tnx,

Jerry

Jerry,

good question!
Why own a Cobra with aluminum body if you can't see it?
There used to be a 289 in Germany which the guy polished every spring for a good start into the season and every saturday after that ...

Enjoy ;-)

Most folks just keep the brushed aluminum finish. Keep's the "is this real aluminum, or just fiberglass <knock, knock>" episodes down.

Thomas's car is about 5 years old now and it still looks great. I believe he just touches it up with scotchbrite every now and then.
