Close Arlo.

I am going to paint it Lexus Frost White, which is a pearl white just a hint of blue tint in it.
The stripes will be the blue metallic from the BMW X5.  I'll add a touch of black tint to the clear coat.
Flanking the blue stripes will be Mercedes silver pin stripes.

The interior has black carpet and the seats, from a Mini Cooper S, will be two toned.  Dark gray inserts with black trim and gray piping.  The door panels will receive a similar color trim.

The carpet is seamless and form fitted.  Took me a while and some trial and error to get that one right.

I am still toying with some ideas for the dash layout and design.

Instead of using side wings to deflect the wind (they really do not work well), I am designing wings to shape the airflow around the cockpit and some other goodies to make the cockpit less work and more fun.

Is it possible to admire you and hate you at the same time, Skuzzy?  :D

My thoughts exactly!  :D
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

I remember the Cobra adds in Hot Rod and or Motor trend Mags.  I want to say it listed for just shy six grand.  Long time ago though.

Folks, if you have the time and a few bucks, you can build your own Cobra.  Just gotta have a wife that understands and about $50K :D

And that is pretty darn accurate.  My Wife gave me the kit as a birthday present.  Then again, it also came with a card which talked about how happy she is going to be when I build her that 62 Corvette, after I finish mine. :)

I though the 63 Stingray was the split window model.

Beautiful Olds you got there.

Same color scheme however.

Yes, the 63 was the split window Vette and first generation of the C2.  The 62 was the last of the C1 generation.
