Wow.

Hi, Paul.

So, at some point, somebody made the mold that the Hurricane body comes out of.

I know there were variations in many aspects of the original Cobra models (Shelby and AC versions) over the years.

Looks to be a stunning paint job.

Didn't realze you were that close, Dean.  Been watching your build with great interest!  I hope to have a look at the finished product sometime.

Paul, any updates for the 3x2Cobra 65shlb.com website?

You've created an amazing specimen there, Dean.  Great job!  I remember that your goal was to replicate a specific CSX (CSX3155, I think).  Is that autograph on the dash authentic or a facsimile faithful to the original?

. . . Cobra is sporting "rookie" stripes . . .

Did a little research the term Rookie Stripe. In this case, the usage is in-accurate.

The stripes come from the Mid-60's era FIA racing. Shelby used the stripes to identify which car was coming into the pit.

Congratulations, Paul!  Definitely a labor of love.  It's odd that a fellow with your knowledge and credibility on the Cobra is sporting "rookie" stripes on his Hurricane!  I guess in this case, technically, it's the car that's the rookie!

The car looks great.  I'm sure you're not done working on it, so it will get even better!
