under the Cobra R hood
A Ford Racing OEM Hood,
which has been filled and finished by hand,
with duel slots cut in the cowl of hood.
Displays an airbrushed mural of
an enormous Purple, Silver and Black Cobra.
"Bad Snake" is the ruler of the mountain range that lie beneath him.
Set on a blue mist backdrop, with two nearby moons.

the Tail Wing, known to all as the, Spoiler.
Coming to rest just below the Wing and
surrounding the high center brake light.
The 12" stripes close together, completing the colossal reptile.

bordered by a 1/8" Black Pin Striping
Don’t think for one moment,
It’s going to hold that huge serpent,
Although it does tie him in with his best friend
The Crystal White Stallion know to all as Mustang.
And that my children is why today we have the
