Wow! That is a gorgeous little yellow two seater! The Cobra is nice as well. :-)
Did you build both? Any details on the two of them?
We live fairly close. Hope to see them both in person one day.

Its awesome to have my picture chosen for POM. The picture was taken at my brothers farm in Westlock, Alberta Canada. I built the car in 2005. It's a 5.0 Efi with a paxton blower. T-5 tranny with a 3:73 rear end with 3 link. 400Hp and 2250 pounds.The plane is my brothers freshly restored 1946 Piper J3 Cub. It has 65 Hp at just over 700 pounds. John

That's a great scene for a lazy August afternoon. Slow planes and fast cars - a perfect combination of two classics.

Just curious. Still love the shot.
