BigTallDad Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Lookin' good! I have a question: if this is a street version, where do you attach the license plate(s)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front would be more of a challenge but I had a kit Cobra I drove for five years without a front plate and was never pulled over. Withi this version you even have room for two suitcases and a spare tire. There are quite a few Mark I roads cars but I thinks all the Mark II's were built for racing first. Some of the Cobra Daytona Coupes were street legal and driven so anything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Forgot to mention it is a really nice build too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Looks absolutely fantastic... lovely work, and a great colour scheme. I gather, though there may be room for two suitcases, that whatever you put in them will be well and truly cooked before you arrive at your destination! best, M.

Ben500 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 thanks to all of the nice comments you guys have posted! now regarding the brands for the paints I used, I' m sorry to tell you that they are custom made , I mean i went to an automotive pint shop and there i just looked at some catalogs and picked a metallic red (base color) then last February a contest was held here at my hometown and won a prize , such one included some sort of paints all of them enamels , and one of those was a clear red one the brand is Licona Hobby Color,( I couldn't tell you if this guy sells international) and such is intended to create a candy effect when applied on a metallic base color( silver,gold ,etc) and that is how I got the finished color on the Gt40, so I guess that if you guys go to your local automotive paint retailer probably you´ll get these materials easily. well I hope I was able to help with this info. pic 1 base color metallic red pic 2 clear red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
