cobraman Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Let me start by saying..........I hate this kit ! Almost just split it up for parts twice and still may. I really only bought it because I needed a pair of cheater slicks which this kit has. The problem was that they were way too skinny for my purposes. The suspension on this kit is really tough to build. At least they were for me. Your experience may be different. I lost interest in this kit early but thought I wanted to see it through. The results of loosing interest can clearly be seen here. Not a finished product I am proud of but since we are all friends here I thought I would post it anyway. Comments bad or worse are welcome !

Intmd8r Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 This is not a subject I would have chosen, but I can appreciate hard work and skill when I see it. Despite your frustration and honesty, the build looks good. I don't see any tell tale signs of where you lost interest. God knows we've all been there.SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC Norton Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Ray, this type of car does not interest me to own myself,,,,,but really, do you think your build is that bad,,,because I don't, it actually looks pretty nice, in my opinion. you probably build more kits and contribute more finished builds than anyone on the forum, but in this case you're being far too hard on yourself.....the Ace....

cobraman Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thanks guys. I took the pics to show this thing in the best light. : ) AC , your right I do build a bunch of kits. It's a wonder I ain't no better ! : ) I think I did 18 so far this year. Gotta get tougher kits so they take longer perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madhorseman Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Ray it looks really good, Man.Recently I bought 1 of these for the twin Paxton supercharged 289 engine that I used in a Cobra II that I built. When I was a younger I did also built one, and I seem to remember it not going together well.Wish the builds I lost interest in turned out as well.
