That's looking good with those wheels and tires. Looks like they are from the Lil Coffin? Stance is good too!

That's very Kool! Everything you have done works perfectly together!

I have said this a few times before in HPIGuy's defense, but once again, he is not, nor is he purporting to be, a master builder. His videos are not about that. There are a lot of other videos on YouTube specifically about building models, of all kinds, at incredible levels. He is giving you a "What's in the box" and a quick build so you can see it together and he can comment on how it goes together. I will give you that he is usually very "tactful" about saying something is bad, but he is also in the business of review and needs the companies on his side. I watch his videos and know by the end if I am buying or not. It's kind of like the hobby shop display models of old, only in a contemporary video format.😉

The AMT '65 GTO has one, it has a blobular carb molded to it. Looks very similar, if not the same, as the one in the '65 Bonneville in the directions posted above.

The chassis and suspensions look primitive at best. They look like something a hot rodder would build in his garage.
That's because they kind of were... Cobras were not high tech, driving a 427 Cobra was brutal. Tremendous power in a package that barely can contain it. That was the whole point and why they are legendary today. The ex Monogram kit is older, not sure why it is being marketed as new, but a pretty nice and accurate model.

Certainly one of the finest car models I have seen......

Excellent work! Probably the best build I have seen of this kit!

I too love the old Monogram kits, along with the AMT Trophy Series. I have multiples of nearly all of them, some restorable built ups, some unbuilt in box and a ton of parts. The only one I need is an unbuilt, in box original '40 Ford pickup. I will pay up when the right one presents itself!

That's really cool! You really captured the look you are going for!

This is about as dead on for a vintage roadster as it gets! Super job so far!

That straight-8 looks gigantic in size; I wonder where that 1:1 motor came from?
It is a Buick. They made them from around 1930/31 to 1953. It is probably a 320 cid, or at least started out that way, which was the biggest factory version.

Nice weathering! Those are so nicely done they could be movie props!

Great job! It is nice when you can build a model that you have a personal connection with. The car looks good in black with the red lines!
-
That's really cool! You don't see them built much and yours is done extremely well!
-
Very nice work on a unique subject!

Even though it fought you, the finished model looks really good!

Very kool! Right out of the mid to late 60's! That is a great color!

What kits would that beAfter
I think this is all of them. These are the early to mid 70's issues, some of these had earlier issues in the 1960's. Pics from google. After thinking about it, if they did reissue them they would probably cost more than a good older issue version.

Nice job! You really captured the look of a TROG racer! The weathering is just right!
