DESCRIPTION:
Since the built was been completed in the summer of 2006, the Cobra has never seen rain or snow, never been smoked in, and never been raced or abused.

We have won many first, and second place trophies.

I had my body man extend the Drive's Foot Compartment 12 Inches. I am 6 foot 2 inches tall and to drive the car I had to bend my legs. It was very uncomfortable and not a pleasure to drive.

He built a stainless steel box then wrapped insulation all around it so I would be comfortable inside and not fell the heat from the headers or the engine.

As the pictures indicate, the professionally done BRIGHT SILVER WITH GREY RACING STIPES paint job on FAST ONE speaks for itself. It is amazing what a $10, 000 paint job will do to a car. The sides are straight as a arrow. It is imacculately detailed inside, outside, and underneath. The paint in the door jabs and inside the trunk is as nice as it is on the outside.
