cobraman Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 This will be the next kit on the bench. This is like building an old friend. i don't know how many times I have built this car in the past. What to do, what to do ? I have narrowed it down to 2 ideas. I think I will either do a gasser style car or perhaps a salt flat type of car.

slusher Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 What ever you decide Ray I know it will be a fine build. You have built some great cars lately.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSB Racing Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Flat black, set of Moon's.....yup, that's what I'd do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedfreak Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Ray, Carl and BSB both make good points. I don't see too many Salt Flats cars on here, that would be cool with a '36 Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Flat black, set of Moon's.....yup, that's what I'd do! I will have to give that some thought. I don't really build primered or flat color cars or rat rods if you will. Not really against them I just prefer shiny. As one guy here put it once......... If it ain't shiny, it's just dull. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pim Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Seeing as you are a cobra guy put a Shelby engine in and put cobra style stripes now that would look cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10thumbs Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hi Ray, I've been wanting that model for a while now, and can't find one. Have you considered making a real cool hot rod with it? Look at the pic above this, what a neat car! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
