    The head light bezels appear to be argent or gray paint, rather than chrome. The door handle is crooked. And is the "COBRA" decal in the wrong spot? There also appears to be some kind of casting flash or something inside of the smaller slot on the front wheel, at the 5:00 position.

    Most, if not all, of the pictures used are "stock" photos or illustrations from the Ford archives, brochures, etc. .... except for the picture of the straight six, which is mine. This picture was taken a few years ago, as I recognize upgrades I have made since then.

    You guys are getting it. Good job

    I think the Cobra by the rear of the door was a spin off the 78 King Cobra.





    What about the body side moldings, anything there?

    A single stripe, rather than the dual pinstripes? I was looking at that a little last night, but chalked it up to photo quality.
