    2nd orange Cobra

    Here's some pics of Rick Southers Cobra, he went with 18" polished wheels which is a 1st for Unique.

    The wheels are called Shelby's and are made by American Racing in 15", 17"and 18", they come polished or with grey centers. Henry's car had 15" with grey centers. We have sold 4 sets and everyone seems to be happy with them.

    Looks like a Hotwheels car. Cool but you also have to be careful of potholes.
    Justin I looked at their website for 17s. Nice wheels.

    What color orange did Rick go with? Doesn't seem to have the gold highlights mine has. Or is it the lighting.

    Looks good!

    The color is called Creme Sicle from a Toyota sold only in Japan. The color is a bit different in person, it looks better.

    Thanks Justin. I will be looking for them.
    Kelly, that color looks like orange cream pop, or it could be the lights.
    It is much tastier looking than yours.


    edit*I missed your post Alan. I called it. It does look like Creme Sicle*

    Thank you

    Thank you all for the kind words toward my Cobra. I am calling the car "Midlife" for now in that I must be going through the mid-life crisis stage to buy to such a car. No regrets so far !!! I look forward to finishing the build when I get the car to its new home. In working with fine folks like the Weavers, I am sure they will make the final completion stages a smooth adventure. This forum and your experience has been a big help already. I am sure there will be many more questions that I will post in the months to come.

    Have a Cobra day.

    Ric

    Will - I imagine Professor Von Studebaker is trying to figure out what his next assignment will be following the recent elections. Keep us posted.
