Now I'm stumped, what holds your cover on, no snaps shown, no velcro glued on the body, you got me here?  What's the secret or would you have to shoot me if you told me ? :)   It looks really slick.  If mine comes out half as nice, I'll be busting my buttons with pride...
so are you going tell ... ?

Nice, really nice.

Hows the rear view mirror work?  I put mine in the normal position, and after 600 miles it has a few spots on the face where the mirror finish rubbed thru, cheap POS. :'(

Thanks for the complements guys.

Ken, The cover is supported by 4 fiberglass rods sewn into the cover and held in place by a bungee cord that hooks into the tip on each side exhaust and a velcro flaps behind the mirror and the rollbar. I copied the design from a vendor on the FFR forum but added some custom touches.

Ranman, I tried the mirror up on the windshield but the vibration made it impossible to see anything so I moved it to the tradition spot on the dash.No problems so far.

I've got the same mirror from Finish line on my old beater and after 3 years no problem either.

Jim, your wife needs to mass produce these covers/floor mats...they are great.

How does Leanne feel about a new career? ;D

Or sell the rights and patterns to some prospective buyer in Indonesia who will in turn get them make locally for a low cost, then export to the US and mark up at least 300 percent and sell to the hungry crowd of Hurricane buyers... ;D

Isn't that the WalMart formula? And after they've sucked the life out of the Indonesian suppliers, move on to the next lower cost impoverished nation and start all over again!

Jim,  "Your wife's got talent"    ;)

I agree with the others, she should start making the boots and floor mats. I know many of us Hurricane Lemmings would snap them up pronto.

I still enjoy seeing the photos of your really beautiful cobra...it's one of the best.

Thanks guys. LeAnne is a master with a sewing machine. She just spent $14K on a new embroidery machine. Her "hobby room" has much cooler stuff than my shop.

Fantastic build. I helped unload it from the transporter and watched the build. Now, I need to move this car approximately 250' west into my garage, what do you say Jim, you like the corvettes anyhow?
