SHELBY COBRA











My friend Rod, from Rod's Auto Collision, just finished this car. It is flawless and probably the nicest kit car that I've ever seen. He is doing these for a company that makes these body molds. They retail starting at $75K...depending on motor, tranny, and rear end. But forget that. The body and paint is flawless. If you've never seen a raw plastic mold of a kit car, they are very, very rough. Every gap is on this thing was made perfect by Rod. And the paint job is within the top 5 I've ever seen. Maybe just behind that white GTO I did for Bob in Austin :). Anyway, Rod is a true craftsman, artist, and successful independent business owner. He supports his family and is putting his daughters through college doing this. And not to mention, he won't rip you off or bullshit you when you need something fixed the right way.
This is why I love automobiles. Great job Rod.

P.S. only 635 HP at 2300lbs.
What gas crunch?
