Cool project! I "built" a couple of these when I was a kid (it had a skeleton!!), and now only give it a look as a parts kit. Nice to see someone take a serious stab at a serious build of it.

That looks great!! Seeing all the decals in that kit make me want to buy a case of Microsol though...

Nice build!!

The "Little Deuce" is nice, but the first one is just too cool!! Nice work on both of them!

Nice paintwork!!!

I'm sorta surprised there hasn't been a newer Ford F-150 kit, and I'd love to see a kit of the new Chevy/GMC trucks.

Very cool project!! I have the Daytona Spyder kit hiding in the pile that will be used with the HRM Competizione Coupe body - your build pics will be helpful when I get to mine...

SWEET!!! That turned out soo freakin cool!!

that's cool!! My first car was a '76 GT fastback, 20r/5spd complete with a factory AM/FM with 8-track :-) Fun little cars!!

The AMT kit is an early 260ci car with worm/sector steering, and has been around since 1964 or 1965. not a great, but unless Accurate Miniatures comes through with their raodster kits, it's the only game out there. The recent issue os the ex-Monogram kit has two sets of decals, one set is for CSX3008, which is the first 427 Cobra to win a championship (1965 A Production, driven by Hal Keck), and a much later incarnation of CSX3009 (the Essex Wire Cobra) as it raced in the '70s, even though the kit doesn't accurately depict the car at that time. Here are my builds of CSX3008, CSX3009, and a heavily modified version of the AMT cobra that represents the Cobra Mark Donohue drove to victory at VIR in 1964. Unfair Advantage: CSX3008: CSX3009:

Bob, The stripes are subtle, but really change the look of the car! Eric, that Cobra is very nice!! Monogram's Cobra has been around since the late 80's, 1988 I think. There was the S/C kit molded in metallic blue, that has the Halibrand wheels, singel 4bbl intake with the cool air boxx, full windscreen, rollbar, tonnuw cover, finned valve covers and competition jack plates. Then there was the "Street" issue molded in red, that has knock-off wire wheels, street bumpers, an uptop, no rollbar, a different dash, 2/4bbl intake, smooth valve covers, smooth hood, and a full windscreen. Next up was the Essex Wire Cobra (CSX3009) molded in white, it was nearly identicle to the S/C kit, but lost the full windscreen in favor of a race version, and it got the much nicer "big-n-little" Goodyear Blue Streak tires. The Motion drag kit is mostly the S/C kit with some of the street parts and a couple new parts added. The Ken Miles limited kit and the recent kit are straight re-pops of the Essex Wire version with different decals.

that's cool!!!

nice build!!

oh man, I am soo diggin this one!! Looks great Bob!!

Nice job Billy!!

now that's nice!! can't wait to see more of your builds!

Lookin good Bill!! That dash may be simple, but you've done a great job making it come to life. take good care of your Mom and post updates when ya can! Brian

Cool project!!

My driver for the past 5 years, a 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII. Two door, RWD, rides on air, and has an all aluminum 4.6L DOHC V-8

use the edge of a #11 blade to score a line in the end of the rod, then run a round or triangle needle file on that line.

Very nice!!

That is soo ###### cool!! Great idea and execution!!

Nice work - especially layin' all those decals down!

Clean build, nice paint, great wheel choice!!

Outstanding build!! That's the kind of work that'll help sell a kit, nice job!
