spencer1984 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 That's actually pretty neat, and nice clean work on it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I never would have thought of putting a VW engine in a Cobra. Very imaginative, Ray. Aren't you happy you quit building? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Thank you guys. I had no idea that someone made "real ones" . That's just not right ! Hey Jim, I quit building every week it seems. I will always build Cobra's. Being retired I find I do need something to do besides doing stuff around the house.

Foxer Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I was going to say there must be someone that did this in 1:1, so it all looks appropriate to me! :) Thank you guys.

Ace-Garageguy Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 What the ??? indeed. There have been Jag, Ferrari, Porsche 917 and MG "replicas" on Bug underpinnings, so why not a Cobra? Here's one of the real bodies made for Bug guts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 As much as I love Cobra's I could not have one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustyMojave Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I love Cobras, and I love VW bugs. But not in the same car... OTOH, they have very close to the same wheelbase... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Great little weekend toy for that "midlife crisis on a budget". Now let's see someone do it with the Monogram Bugatti! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucky 130 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I can tell the walls are closing in on you. How about stretching the front end and putting an Allison V12 under the hood? Now that should keep your mind occupied. Oh by the way I thought the VW powered snake was wild and gave me a real chuckle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
