IMSANUT Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Superb recreation of the Cobra's first win. I have much of what is needed for this build as well. I was unaware of the availability of the brake scoops though. Must get those as well as the wheels. What brand and shade of red did you use?

mr moto Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) That's an excellent build and a very interesting bit of history. Who would guess that the first race winning Cobra was painted red? What was Shelby thinking? Edited January 25, 2013 by mr moto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torinobradley Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Looks awesome! Love the Spaulding! The Spaulding Flamethrower was also in the AMT parts pack motors (I think the hemi). I have the decals for this one but need to finish the Coventry Executor first... Very nice build. Love the detail! Did you just get the parts individually from HRM or did you get the trans-kit for the AMT? Edited January 25, 2013 by torinobradley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
