In this (exquisitely handcrafted) cockpit…

The ‘RT4’ designation means it is the Big & Tall man body. It was an option for a time, but now is standard on all Backdraft Cobras. The RT4 provides extra room to accommodate bigger and taller people. It is very comfortable for me and I am 6 ft. tall and 230 lbs. It also has a chromed fire extinguisher (mounted to the bulkhead)l

It is also fitted with: Moto-Lita–style hardwood-rimmed steering and Autometer blackfaced vintage-style instrument gauges.

It has heated seats, cam-style quick-release seatbelts and clear bra on the nose, door tops and rear quarter fenders.
