Just got the sidepipes back on the car this afternoon. From Ceramic white to Ceramic chrome/silver. The silver looks 100 times better. Car fired right up after sitting for a month, beautiful afternoon for a ride. The wheels are next and then I'm done for a while.

 

Looking good Pat !!!!!

 

Nice Ride..And the right color..Squirrel Crusher

 

looks fantastic. I would assume you are getting the wheels coated the same color as the sidepipes ?

 

Thanks guys - I am actually thinking about swapping them out for the Halibrand
style wheel. American makes a polished version with that would look incredible on this car. If I do keep them then yes I would go with a polished spoke. Whoever did the white did a great job but with the white pipes and the white wheels I felt like I was wearing white shoes and a white belt, not my style. I also replaced the bright yellow seat belts and harnesses with a new set of Black Simpson's.

 

Beautiful car Pat!

 

Pat, all that money invested in your Cobra and that's the best pics you can produce. Come on!

 

Looks great Pat. Get some more pictures though, all angles. Looking forward to seeing it in person soon.

 

Pat - Thanks for the Cobra update. These are really loads of fun to drive.

 

Here's a few more pics - New seatbelts, couldn't handle the bright yellow ones. Cleaned up the dash, took the Manufactured by Shelby American plaque off this Factory 5
The 347 Stroker motor - yes its fuel injected but that's a Trick Flow Intake signed by Peter Brock who helped design the Daytona Coupe, Trick Flow aluminum heads, MSD Iginition. This cars starts when you turn the key unlike other Cobra's I drove, you had to crank them a bit before they'd fire up.
There's also a few shots prior to putting the side pipes back on the car. Once the weather gets a bit warmer I'll do some proper shots of the car, got a great response at our weekly cruise in this morning.

 

Very nice Pat..

 

Looking great! Keep the photos coming.

 

beautiful car Pat. Is the Cross now relegated to your winter beater???

 

No unfortunately can only afford 1 toy. If you know anyone who's looking its at Flemings Ultimate Garage in Rockville Maryland and I know they will negotiate on the price. Traded the Crossfire for the Cobra.

 

Only one word for that car. Sweet

 

Thanks for all the nice compliments. Well today the final chapter, I got my tags, I'm legal in Maryland! Exactly 120 days after first seeing the car everything is finally done. The new wheels have been ordered from Team III. they are completely polished Halibrand style wheels so the white ones are coming off. Soon as that is done I'll post some more pictures. In the mean time, I'm going for a ride!

 

I'm lookin' forward to seeing pics of the Cobra with the new wheels.

 

Very nice Pat, wish I could see her in person.

 

Pat, what kind of grommet is used around the roll bar...looks chrome...

 

Nice! I almost bought one in "03" but with a DUI on my record, I couldn't get insurance, and that was that. Now, I don't feel rich enough to be buying expensive toys and I do have the SRT.
