cobraman Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Been messing around with this for a couple days . Used two AMT bodies to make the one . Using the chassis and such from the Mooneyes dragster . Still smoothing out the body and not very sure this will work out well if at all .

dragcarz Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I like it! The older I get the less imagination I seem to have, it’s good to see you still have yours. Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a fantastic start to me! I love imaginative kit bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Thanks gents. Lee I have thought about a hinge but not sure I can unless I added to the rear of the chassis. Car is in it's final primer coat, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Thibodeau Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Hi Ray! Verry swoopy, bravo! I often wondered if the typical Cobra body would be easy to stretch by grafting two sectionned bodies together. You answered my question! Was there "taper" issues at the cowl, or was the graft fairly straight? Just curious... CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Thank you Claude. I got lucky when I cut the two bodies. They fit together pretty good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott8950 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Very cool! I think this is the first chevy powered cobra I've seen and that's pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 Thanks Scott. I have seen several kit Cobra's with SB Chevy engines. Would not be my choice in one I could drive but to each his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
