cobraman Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Although I pretty much stopped building not too long ago I still want to build one of my favorite cars once in awhile . I am always trying to think of different things and ways to build a Cobra to add to my collection . Some ideas not too bad and there are ones like this . Still in the planning stage . So here then is the start of what I am calling a Cobra hot rod . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Caballo Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Neat, I see that with lots of metalflake colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 IDefinitely like it. Very different concept. Looking forward to more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbarlow1 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Very cool. With the body mods, the shape is (appropriately) a bit reminiscent of a Viper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Caballo Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Nothing as wild as what you are building, but some ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-body fan Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Cool! Kind of. Barretesque with some recognizable original lines. Great project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Very creative, very different. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Thanks guys. Nothing looks better than a stock Cobra to me but I do like to build one that is different even if a tad stupid for my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerN Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) Great start!!! Outrageous originality! Hope you can blend in that roof - looks like a challenge to me. Show us the chassis, please. BTW, I have some pretty "stupid" Cobras going myself. Edited December 19, 2017 by GerN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say but I feel mostly because I started getting bored and not many kits excited me any more. The old Cobra racing team kit has just been re released and you can bet I will get two of them. One for my collection of un built kits and I will build one. I will still throw a Cobra together now and then. This is about the fourth time I quit so who knows ??

I apologize and will attempt to delete this post if you weren't serious, but, here goes: From left, I call them Cobra Daytonish, wide Cobra, Cobra Bread Van and Cobra Crate. Couldn't resist including helper cat photo. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 Oh boy ! A couple new ideas for me ! I may borrow ( steal ) one or two of those ideas from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in a thumbs up vote on this variant for me, but in my twisted mind, I see it heading in the direction of being a straight axle gasser, but with some kind of front end treatment matching the back, à la Revell's old '53 Chevy panel.

Except one is banned from my model room, after he pee'd on the wall.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
