Reeves Racing Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) I wish there as just a kit available to build this car but there isn't. Fortunately there are plenty of aftermarket parts to buy in order to build one. I have a 2008 GT500 in my stash and while the front end is wrong for a 2008 Cobra Jet, it's the kit I have and I am going to use it. First thing is to change up the front to look less like a GT500 and more like the 2010 Cobra Jet front. I bought a resin hood from eBay I got the new decals from Slixx I have home casted some resin Weld Star wheels I am going to use the quarter window louvers from a 65 fast back kit I am going to use some headers from the part box I am using parts box tires and tachometer I will scratch build the roll bar and seat belts I will need to redo the air intake and scratch a open air filter I will need to leave out the back seat and take the radio out of the dash The rest will pretty much be out of the box Edited March 28, 2015 by Reeves Racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeves Racing Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 I didn't like the first paint job so I stripped the body and ordered another set of decals. Then I made an air filter from a spray nozzle. I made a push off switch knob from a sanded down shifter handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeves Racing Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 It's actually a Ferrari 250 GTO painted with the Penske livery. It's been a stalled WIP for a while but I am working on it here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
