Thank you Mark!

Model factory hiro 427 cobra. The kit was a challenge to say the least. Had a blast with this kit. Here are some pics. Hope you like.

Thank you Ray.

Thank you vamach1. The kit did not have the vent and sun visors. It was a full comp kit. My friend Mark has a lot of mfh kits said he would get me set, but it’s ok the way it is. Everything was pretty good on the kit, but being a mfh kit, it has its problems. I loved this kit. Might even get another one to make a Shelby super snake with the radical hood and twin super chargers. Well on to the 917/30

FINISHED!!! If your into Cobras, this is the ultimate kit. I love the build, love the car! Glamour shots later today. Thank you guys for the support.

Very nice!!!!

Very nice!!

Ray just about finished! Starting to come around. The gas cap is something else! It also works. Totally insane. Bumper jacks next and then she is complete. This kit is you sir!

Seats are in. Belts are installed. Windshield next. Getting close to the finish line. Kind of sad because this build is very gratifying and it’s going to be over soon. I can stare at this thing for hours. Just wish I had a real one in the garage.

Looks stock mounting but it’s modified a lot.

Hello ! Yes it is a white automotive primer that I had at work. Dries a semi gloss. From SEM. Looked just right. Just painted the roll bar trim black. Was going to clear it but it really looks good trim black. Thank you for the heads up on the cobra. Made my build easier.

The problematic side pipes are installed. Pretty happy with the results . Have to add some black inside the exhaust pipe but they are ok. Roll bar next

Well had to relocate the holes to mount the side pipes. I just wonder how come they are soo far off. Thank you for the heads up! Should have known, always something on a mfh kit. I’m going for more punishment as I’m doing a Porsche 917/30 mfh kit. My friend Mark bought me a Moby Dick Porsche mfh kit. I believe he likes to watch me suffer.

Just painted the side pipes. Going white. They are three pieces. Glued and putty to make it look like one.

Thank you Twokidsnosleep.

This car is too cool. I have to copy this car on the rollbar and side pipe colors. It’s just brutal and raw.

Well trying to fit these side pipes. They are very bad. The right side is a 1/4 inch off on the mounting point. The left is only off 1/16 . I do not know how these could be so far off. Filling the old mounting points and redrilling new points. Still cannot make up my mind on the colors of the rollbar and side pipes.

Thank you Dann. Ok Mark, here we go on the side pipe installation. I’m going to ( after fitting) fill the side pipe sections with some putty to make them look like they are all welded together as one piece. Having a problem deciding what to finish them. Just saw Jay Leno’s garage and he had a black 427 cobra he was test driving. Not a kit but a real 427. Had white side pipes with a gloss black roll bar. I guess I have seen so many kits I forgot what a real one looked like.( Not that kits are bad, they are sometimes better than a original.) But a real one was neat to see. Sooo my problem is deciding what to finish my roll bar and side pipes. My buddy Mark Adams wants polished finish on both. I might go Jay Leno’s garage with gloss black rollbar and white side pipes. It sure looked great.

Fitting seats, rollbar, side pipes. That’s why no seat belts yet. Roll bar still it a little high. And the side pipes! Holy cow ! Are way off.

Thank you Dann, getting closer

Sir , this kit is you! And thank you.

Thank you FLHCAHZ

Thank you Nazdrave. I will keep you updated on the side pipe situation. Just put the oil lines in the front of the cooler. Starting to come together.

Body is on the frame. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Still needs things. Fitting windshield, rollbar( I noticed it’s too high) , seats,.side pipes etc. On a downhill run now. Not getting in a hurry now. This is where mistakes can ruin a build.
