Wow - well, can't say as "I know the feeling."  But since I don't have a Cobra - can't attest that.

 

But when I do see one, I look at the front for the little cooler with real vintage oil cooler lines, and if Terri isn't around, I'll walk up to the car and pinch the wheel well.  It if feels 1/2" thick - I rest my case.  IF it's real thin and metal - wowsers - also has to smell of gas.

 

When living north of San Francisco, the guy I bought our 1951 Porsche (10539) from, Dick Workman, in 1972, used to race his 427 Cobra at various race ways - if the race was at Sears Point - good chance he'd drive it to town on Monday.  Yep - replete with numbers, open side pipes, and tech stickers et all.  From Marin County, across the Golden Gate Bridge to his shop in The City on Pine street - Workman Motor's.  In his shop he had two or three complete Cobra skins for his car - bare metal - waiting for use.  Dick was a body man and an aggressive driver.

 

Didn't save him when he flipped a high powered ski boat at Clear Lake.  Tough buns, Ace.

It's actually worse when I'm in the Shelby...first question everyone asks is if it is real or not.

I hear this all the time...

But I have a hard time imagining the lay public is even aware of the kit car market....I thought only car guys knew of their existence.
