I love the silver and chrome look on your roadster Joe! Timeless beauty...
No windshield and post-washing. I don't know why, but I like this one - it makes the car look beefy and very menacing.

I'm getting that same hood from Bruce.

Bruce does quality work, you won't be disappointed.
In retrospect, because I have no clue about bodywork, it would have been cheaper for me to send him my hood and have him graft it on than having had my bodyguy do it.

Back then it was just the scoop, or scoop+send your hood.
I think I was one of the first to adopt the supersnake scoop so I ended up trading him (i.e., I bought him) a brand new mk3 hood from ffr for the scoop. Hehe, he probably just cloned the hood I bought for him and then grafted the scoops into it.

Pocono summer of 2002, Bill K. Bob L. Roger D, John M. and myself all duking it out on the north course We could care less what brand of Cobra replica we had,just that we were all out on the track that day. The bond of friendship born that day has lasted many years.
Hot, humid, but an absolute blast.

I have two favorites - one of while traveling to Ohio and back. I was poured on, cooked, but still had a great trip. Here is what the car looked like when I got home late that evening;

This is my screen background. My oldest granddaughter has declared to all who will listen that this is her car. When she get's old enough it is her's! So when we changed out the old 5.0L engine for the new 347 engine she stayed in the driver seat watching every step we made getting the new engine installed. She even brought her lunch to the car so as not to miss any activity or any step in the process. IF it ever happens, guy's watch out she is a character!!

"Can you imagine?!"
here's mine. . . my oldest (she'll be 9 on Wednesday) loves the car. . . any ride that lasts more than an hour ends this way for her
I don't know how she does it, it doesn't ride like a cadillac, it's noisy, smells like gas, hits all your senses, but she manages to sleep. . .
Here are two on an overcast day.

I always liked this one. Never had a chance to get paint before.....
Here is one of mine. The day the car came home from the painter.
Here is mine. This is also my first post here.

A bit embarassing, but fortunately work has me very busy.
Either out of town or 6 days a week, so this is still my favorite....

Frankeeski...does this photo look familiar to you?
Can I be greedy and post more than one if I tell you a story that kind of goes along with them?
The photos above were taken at RunN'Gun and show the car doing what I built it for. What they don't show is that the weekend before RnG my wife and I took it for a nice scenic 100 mile drive on an autumn evening going for our anniversary dinner. The week after RnG I took my neice shopping for her 15th birthday in FFR 5946. She proclaimed it "The coolest car ever!" I had to agree with her

Raceral. That picture with your grandson really touching.
Great picture of a really sad moment.
My POM still my favorite. I have a poster sized print of it in my office...
But I also like this one taken by my son at the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport observation lot...
Geez, I hate posting pictures of my car
Here's one anyways.
