skymnky721 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Hi all,,got this at a recent DAMM swap meet show,,10$-- 1/2 started glue blob. I ez-offed every thing,,and went for this burnt orange/root beer color ,,testors quik dry spray,,,and decided to change the intake of the big 427. as well. Hardware store nylon step washers/spacers {8 cents a piece} for the injector tips,,scratch built injector tubes,,gonna do a few other "non-normal" things to this one. Well see what happens,,keep up the great woks! S Edited July 7, 2017 by skymnky721 pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I think the intakes are a little bulky, but otherwise , Nice start !Keep 'er goin'Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skymnky721 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) I think the intakes are a little bulky, but otherwise , Nice start !Keep 'er goin'Cheers Thanks Beluga,,yea,,they maybe a bit large,,but they look ok actually in person,,the pics are " squeezed" a bit . I thought about just doing "straight tubes" w/no flares at top,,but the step spacer things from the hardware store work ok. When its done,,the black injector tips will make sense w/the paint layout+ highlights. Tan 2 tone interior,,and 3 different paint highlights on rims. Right now Im scratch building the injector linkages+ feul feed lines,,,that will be interesting,,lol. Thanks for looking,,and keep up the great work you all do!!

regular guy Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I will make this a quick comment.I saw Phil Spector get out of one of these one time.Pretty much everybody in visual range stopped and looked.Very impressive.The velocity stacks make it look like it is set up for the drags.Guys would do nothing to these cars.Just drive 'em to the dragstrip and down the track they went.Keep up the good work.

vamach1 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) I like the use of different colors on the suspension and drivetrain. It makes them stand out. I like the color but black is my favorite. Edited June 25, 2017 by vamach1 Aaaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Well done ! Good looking model. I think the Cobra looks best in bright colors but that's just me. Truthfully, any color looks good on a Cobra to me ! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
