Default Series I Chassis w Ally Body by Panel Craft

It is a Shelby American Series one chassis with an alloy body built by Panel Craft. You can go on to further describe that we built the body for Bob Wingard of FII Motorsports.

FII Motorsports came into existence when Bob purchased the remaining inventory of chassies and molds for the original body. He has since produced and sold a number of cars with the body you see depicted with the exception that they were made from fiberglass. His intention is to discontinue fiberglass production and only offer aluminum.

The car is being displayed at SEMA in Las Vegas at the Performance Gear booth. #24925 or #24931

Looks great! Almost a replica of Morris' KMP259 Kirkham racer with the cowl scoop and duck bill front spoiler...

I really doubt that version takes off (sales wise)....


But it is always in the eye of the beholder.

I like it but what I really admire is the talent it takes to make that body. It just amazes me!

I like the panel beating skills and that's about it!

The duck bill front end looks like it will keep the car from anding heavy skid marks in your undies over 150 MPH, like mine creates. My front end feels like it is skateing over 150.

Think this is a design that melts the Series I and MKIV?
I kinda like it as it is not meant to be a Cobra, it is a different animal.
It wider
More of a busy design

Might be worth making an alloy Series I?
