Carl, he lives right in Winston.  I met em a few times and we went to a car show in Kernersville a while back.  Great guy and beautiful car.

Btw, I'll be glad to take those old Cobra Rs off your hands ;)

Nice :D BTW what are the size/offset on those? They look to fit the front fine and not stick out past the fender.

Thanks for the comments guys, I think they make the car stand out alot more than the old cobra's, especially with the car color
Dominator- i want to drop it in the front about 1.5" (no a good spring to do this with?)
 when on level ground the rear don't sit to bad

kingcars- you got pm'd

Thunderjet- the fronts are 17x8's with 15mm offset 245/45's, rears are 17x9's with 20mm offset 275/40's. The fronts still stick out a little but that will be fixed this summer with some stang arms new bushings and springs
Thanks again guy's
