cobraman Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Finally going back to the bench. Took a Cobra to do it. : ) Monogram 1/24 kit that will become a drag car. Not sure exactly where this build will wind up as I am winging it as I go. The drag bars in the photo will not be used I will find some better or maybe modify those. Have a resin scoop I am molding to the hood and need to fill the holes in the side where the pipes would attach.

afx Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Ford's 429 is a hemi but I don't think there is anyway possible to squeeze a 429 in a Cobra without some major surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10thumbs Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Looking good Ray. When I see a Cobra I think small block and Weber carbs. I like the setup.Ray, did you copy/paste the pics? I not able upload any pics from PB lately, so I'm doing copy/paste.Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Copied the direct link if I remember correctly. It did seem to work slower and a bit different now but it did work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 bad55 stan Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 i think it looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Finished this up this morning. Didn't turn out as good as would have liked but they never do. I used a resin scoop, tires and wheels from the parts box, head light covers and roll bar also from the parts box. Removed some chrome and modified the bumpers. No engine or chassis detail. Wanted to do a simple build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thanks guys. I made the wheelie bars to long but was going for something different. What did I learn ? Different is not always good. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
