OT, BUT...
there has never actually been an AC Cobra. the 427 Cobras used barely ANY AC parts (the dashboard, some interior pieces, and the pedals, and that's about it), and since Shelby was the manufacturer, it had nothing to do with AC. Ol' Shel' simply bought the AC Ace and went from there (with the 260/289 Cobras)
with the 427, that was a ground-up effort.
just like how a Saleen Mustang is by technicality not a Ford, since Saleen is the manufacturer of the car.

Status: offline 		Sixtoes1313 great work. Thanks. Doh, it is 190mm..... Oh well, the tires do stick out on the real Cobras. I just hope that it will fit on 200mm chassis cars.

IIRC, the real 260/289 Cobras had the wheels stickin out a bit, but I think the 427 had flares as big as it did to house the tires due to FIA rules (in case you're actually tryin to do a scale car)
