Status: offline 		Here is my progress on my King Kobra so far. I had one of these back in the 90's and sold it to a fellow club member (Dan's great divorce liquidation sale) and have always wanted another. It's all done in PPG Deltron DBC basecoat and ready for clear. The only thing I wish I would have done is put retracts in it. Super Tigre G75 powered.
