While the engine work was being done, Crystal Auto Body (Crystal Lake, IL) laid on the Prowler Yellow two-part paint to the entire body. After that, Scott completed the installation of a full complement of Stewart Warner instruments, a Kirkey high-backed racing seat, RJS harness belts, all the wiring, and a myriad of fit and finish details. Next were the Everett-Morrison interior components, all of which (with the exception of the Kirkey high-back racing seat) are so nicely finished that there is no real reason to change that arrangement.
Because of a rigorous racing schedule, the Cobra project seemed to go on forever (it actually covered four years) and was still in full flog mode when the car was rolled into the trailer the day before the car was unloaded at the 2003 Run & Gun. And despite the owner's first-time efforts at the event, he picked up a First Place in Prepped Big-Block and a Second in the autocross racing. But, just as his car is an example of fine tuning, Scott Johnson is confident he will be able to do better in the future with more seat time in his bad-fast kit.
