I promised you all some pics once I got the sidepipes done and wheels switched out. Well the wheels were put on this morning. Had a slight problem with the fronts rubbing my brake calipers. That was corrected by a 1/8 inch spacer. So my wife tells me I'm done for now. You all have a great summer!

 

Your wife's correct. What more would you want to do to it. Awesome! Squirrel Crusher

 

The wheels and pipes look great Pat.
Are you going to hold off on the stripes, or did you decide not to put em on after all?
Looks good either way.

 

Phenomenal choice in wheels! Looks awesome pat, great job!

 

Thanks guys. Mike there will be stripes but to do it right they have to be wet sanded and then clear coated and its gonna be expensive. They are also gonna have to remove the windshield. Since I went full boat with the wheels I have to wait a while on that for a bit. Considering this car looked like a carnival ride back in January when I got it, it's come a long way.
I finally let my son drive it yesterday but not before a few laps in a parking lot.

 

OMG Pat, she looks awesome. the wheels are fantastic! Very elegant as an entire package. Mark

 

Man, I've always loved these Cobras! Totally awesome and good luck with her.

 

Looking good Pat...

 

Looks great Pat. Would love to see a closer pic of those wheels and pipes.

 

Looks phenonimal. Love the wheels!!

 

That car really needed those Halibrands! Looks fantastic!

 

my old eyes are tired tonight Pat...did you chrome the side pipes? Love the wheels...look like 3 piece set up....love that color, as I have had a Camaro, Vette, and my big rig in that color....looks fantastic...

 

Thanks all - Doc - The pipes were ceramic coated "chrome silver". They don't turn gold at the bend where they come out of the body like a traditional or polished pipe. The ceramic coating also adds a layer of insulation so you are a bit less likely to get your leg burned getting out of the car. The rear wheels are a standard size, they are 1 piece. the fronts are a two piece wheel because I got a special backspace. The spinners bolt on to a cap that slides through the center of the wheel from the back then you lock them for extra protection with a set screw. They are bolt on wheels. They do have a polished cover for the wheel nuts but I ran out of money, maybe after the summer. I'll try and get some closer pics when the weather clears. I swear I got them on the car and the next day and today have been wet and ugly.

 

thanks, the car just looks great......a new kind of permagrin for you, with sound effects...lol....enjoy...

 

Pat,
The car looks excellent.
I suspect the perma-grin is even bigger driving this car

Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy...........

 

Quite a difference from what you originally brought home. Enjoy the ride!!!!
