John Z. Goriup Posted April 14, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 14, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Visited a specialty restoration shop the other day and saw this very early & totally original Shelby-Cobra at the perfect moment when all the metal work on the aluminum body had been completed, all the panels were perfectly gapped and dry-fitted as it awaited its trip to the paint booth the next morning. All the shop lights were out, with the only illumination from one small skylight shining down on it. M9P / 50mm Summilux Asph. wide open / LR5 JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted April 14, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 14, 2014 John, A lovely shot of that gem in the rough. Try to get a shot after the paint is applied. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 14, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 14, 2014 Lovely. CS's first one was in polished aluminum with no paint. Tifosi has (had) a terrific 18th scale model of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoskeptic Posted April 15, 2014 Share #4 Posted April 15, 2014 Nice one. Reminds me of when I had one of my Mistral's stripped down to the alloy. I wouldn't want to do that again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Taylor Posted April 16, 2014 Share #5 Posted April 16, 2014 Nice capture wonderful . Looking closely at the body it looks like it will need to be polished then buffed to take out any imperfections before sending to the paint shop for its first undercoating.
