Gramps46 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Nice build of the Cobra iconic racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Very nice job. I cannot remember - does the kit come with a roll bar that goes to the floor? I would think the Essex Wire version would have one but I checked and it does not have one. Edited January 15, 2019 by vamach1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit comes with the short rollbar, it looks like you can turn it 180* and extend the diagonal tube to get the long bar version. I might try that option on my next build.

You are correct but CSX 3004 has the long tube bar. Its the 427 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are exceptions of course when we start talking about specific chassis. A few cars also had custom one-off roll bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
