Kirkham Motorsports Billet Cobra Body - Billet Cobra - Jalopnik

 

I hate chromed mirror finishes on cars but that is definately a nice project. Those guys have serious talent.

 

I wouldn't call the body billet (milled out of a solid piece of aluminum) but the chassis appears to be...at least the individual pieces. Nonetheless, great project if you have the money.

I actually was more impressed by that video of the machine cranking out a billet big block.

Edit: Here's the website with more pics and explanations.

Now THAT'S billet.

 

Im not cleaning that lol very cool

 

There was one just like that at the show today...maybe the same

 

I cannot even begin to comprehend what it takes to get metal that straight. I know first hand what it takes using primers and fillers, but none of that can be used on that kind of finish. Truly a work of art.

 

Shhhh..JB Weld and a good squeegy, buffs right out!
I want to do a Cobra replica when I get old
