Shiny Bits

[Straversi]

I met a guy at a local Cars and Coffee who just took delivery of this new Cobra replica. Not a FFR, but a one off, built buy a guy in AZ. It has a 427 Chevy, a nice glass body and he told me a fully polished, stainless steel, hand made frame.

He later sent me this photo. Thought I'd share for all of those who love to polish and shine.

In the famous words of George Takei..... " Oh My! "

Wow, that's crazy! And probably pretty heavy. That flat nose forward of the hood looks like a Street Beast. Some meticulous craftsmanship there.

That is nutz... as the owner of a black car, I'll stop my bytchin' about keeping things clean.

[Vspeeds]

Wow, and he actually drives it on the street?

Art work, but i do not like to clean!!

[CraigS]

Dang, spent all that time and $ on shiny but has a solid axle rear suspension.

[FLPBFoot]

WOW is right. It's a shame all those beautiful "shinny bits" are under the car.

Holy Snikeys! My car is up in the air and Mr. Anal is going to town detailing the undercarriage...I’d go crazy trying to spit shine that! Nice work and as Jeff said - heavy.

That's pretty impressive..:)

Wonder how the access is to the distributor is, on that Big Block Chevy?

I thought that was a buggy spring front suspension, but I guess not.

Wow that's a lot of bling that you can't see.

[KDubU]

Okay then....not for me but wow!

I respect the craftsmanship, though it's not for me. If I was going to spend that kind of time and money making things shiny, I'd much rather have a polished aluminum body, like this:

As with others, I appreciate the workmanship and it is pretty. But, heavier, weaker, more expensive, and less usable. I don't get it.

It’s a beautiful look but I prefer to spend my time driving instead of trying to shine the chrome I guess if you have enough money you could pay someone to keep it clean

Did someone say polish and shine?!?

Personally, I like the shiny bits face UP:
