Default 10 1/2 Years.....................

Well, thanks to a friend loaning me his trailer and a few hours off of work this morning the COBRA finally went to the paint shop, I've spent the last few days TAKING it apart for the painting, kind of disheartening since I'll have to put it ALL back together when the paint is done......10 1/2 years of work and I think I see the LIGHT at the End of the TUNNEL!!

Stripes are distorted by light, true color seen on rear


Updated pictures, in the process of putting it back together but "LIFE" is getting in the way, LOL!!! I got it back on Friday the 12th, had to work the races on the 13th, went to Universal with the grand-kids on the 14th, then the next weekend I had to work the races on the 20th, finally got to work on it for 6 or 7 hours on the 21st......been working on it some evenings......going to Universal with the grand-kids again this weekend both Saturday and Sunday so, Saturday and Sunday the 5th and 6th will hopefully be COBRA days, although the 6th will have to be an Early day as it is Tanya's birthday.

What a beautiful Cobra. Are those 17" wheels? Where did you get them? I'm ordering mine in the next few weeks and I'm still on the fence over 15" vs 17".

They are this style: Coy's Custom Wheel & Tire

8" on Front, 9" on rear, in machined finish.
