ssroczyn Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The only way that I can think of to say this is: Dude! This is a Way Cool Build! I need to put together my list of Top 10 Favorite Builds in this Forum and this one would be in it. The Subject Matter and your Finished Build are Awesome! Nice Job!

Monty Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Jonathan, nice job on this tribute car! I have to admit, I was pretty impressed by the way you resolved the wheel issue. That never would have occurred to me. One question: was the engine in the 1:1 car painted orange? Lastly, at the risk of intruding on what you probably consider a finished project, allow me to make a suggestion that'll lend the final touch in replicating your dad's car. Fireball Modelworks has a set of waterslide decals that match the Cooper Cobra tires in your photo. They're inexpensive, easy to apply, and the guy who makes them (Chief Joseph) is also a member of this board. Ask him about P/N WL-09 http://www.fireballmodels.info/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFchronos Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Very nice! Thanks Bill! I can't believe I missed this outstanding build Jonathan, I bet he thoroughly enjoyed it when you gave it to him. Thanks Jason, he sure did, at first he was speechless then the look on his face was that of like seeing an old friend he thought he would never see again.

Yep, it was a 403 that was painted Chevy orange, that's how it was when he bought it from a small time dealer in the mid 80s. He never knew why it was painted orange but it was and it was quite powerful to boot. That was the one detail I couldn't seem to match, thank you so much for the info. I will definitely contact him to try and get a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFchronos Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hey folks I'm resurrecting this thread lol. A fellow member here Monty was kind enough to inform me that another member here Chief Joseph makes the Cooper Cobra decals to match the tires in the real picture. I bought a set a (while back lol) and finally got them on a few days ago and wanted to show them off. They were super easy to put on too. Thank you for pointing me to them Monty and thank you Chief Joseph for making them, it really makes it look that much closer to the real picture.

Drake69 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yeah... that car is SICK. That formula hood would be a serious money maker on the resin market. Outstanding stuff!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Jonathan, I'm glad to see you finally got everything done. You did a great job on this build, including the tire decal placement, and I'll bet your dad was amazed by the quality of your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
