    I don't see it, but my spidey-sense tells me there is a 2-headed Cobra lurking somewhere near you...

    Looks awesome!...a extra pair of shoes for the rear to match the front might be cool too for an occasional change if you ever get the urge.

    I agree, great build, a pair of chrome reversed wheels would be right at home.

    Early on you said you were leaning towards going back yellow. Wise move. Car looks great and I hope you can make it over to Bowling Green in August. I want to see it. Congratulations on a job well done.

    Fantastic looking 57! Just be on the lookout for a couple of “Almond Eyes Guys” in a Cobra!

    Chrome OEM style wheels for the rear are next on the agenda as soon as the budget allows. The well is dry after this project!

    Well boys and girls... she did great at the track today. I think we need a little more fuel flow to feed the thirsty big block but it clicked off a best 1/8 mile ET of 7.4 today. Not bad for a full interior street car.

    Anyone have a nice set of black arm rests for a 57? Or just a nice set period?
