Larry
Looks awesome Darren. I really like the checkered flag effect.
What a great looking car! We all like the checkered flag. TOO COOL!
Chris
Thanks for the replies. The color is a black cherry from a 1995 lexus. In the photos it looks alot more purple than in real life. In person it looks alot more red. The checkered flag was a last minute decision. Glad it turned out so good. Here is a close up of the checkered flag. Darren
Beautiful car -- very nice job. Enjoy!

It has been a while since I posted pics of the cobra. Put on a lot of miles on it this summer. Enjoy Darren
An early fall cruise
Grinns to go 8-) 8-) 8-)
Darren, beautiful car and great pics! Your paint color, those checkerd flags, the wheels - it all works on your car!
How about some observations after putting on some miles? Likes,dislikes, things you would of done differently?
Matt
Thanks Matt. There are only a few things I would have done diffrent. The clutch is a bear to push in. I used a ram clutch and wish I would have researched the different companies out there and required less effort to disengage the clutch. I am told center-force clutches has a lighter effort. Thats my only major dislike so far. I will uprgrade to the wilwood brakes front and back for perormance and looks. The rear brake rotors look real small with the large 17" wheels. I spun the March billet pulley on my alternator. New pulley lock-tighted on.{good fix} This cobra is everything they said it would be and more. From fueling it up to having people wave and smile. Had a few ask what year of corvette it was????? Not everyone is a car nut so I just smiled and told them what it was. I will post more pics of future drives. 8-) Darren
QuoteHad a few ask what year of corvette it was?????
Got a good chuckle out of that one!
The car looks very nice. Congrats on the finish out. 8-)
Just an awesome weekend. Put the cobra in its 1st car show. We pulled " BEST OF SHOW". Talk about being jacked.. There was approx 110 real nice cars. This came as a total shock due to there being some unreal nice cars. It seemed like a magnet was pulling everyone over to My HURRICANE. Just wanted to share. D Wright. HM1017
