Shelby Cobra is one of the most recognizable cars in Fords history and there are many aftermarket companies who have made replica kits through out the decades. This particular one is one of the oldest kits I have come across and was excited to get to finish it. Unfortunatly we were not able to get a solid answer on the the company who built it other then it is no longer around and was done in the 80’s. Even though it does not have the same demisions and specs as the original, this one was a bit longer and wider which gave it some of the best propersions. I honestly like the look of this better.
The owner asked if we could repair the fiberglass imperfections that it got over the years as well as add some fender flairs and a lip to the dash to give it a more defined look. Once we got all of the modifications and body work done, we gave it a high gloss black paint with metallic silver stripes. Black cars are the HARDEST color to paint as you can see every ripple and imperfection in the paint. Most of the laber time is spent on perfecting the body. Even though it is the toughest to paint, it is my favorite because of the challenge it brings and making it look like a mirror is very satisfying once it is finished.
