looking cool !!!

lookin great !!

looks great !

looks stunning !!

just put some high gloss clear red on the tail lenses .. really makes them pop and aso restores the edges i had to sand head light lenses .. man those really came to life with some clear gloss .. they really shine and are more clear .. the bulb i made inside now reall shows .... very happy with the lights now

thnx ! ps and btw on the pics the hood is raised a bit on a corber .. thats because the wheels are loose on and not centered and therefore the body sits to low and the airbox presses against the hood .. when all is on in the right place the hood fits perfect

thnx guys .. well when the windshield is on and the front ride hight is like its suppost to be (will be just a hair higher) ... i think i'm happy

its not in the galery cato .. but no worry's altered the window yet again one side was 1 mm higher then the other .. now put in the glass and then clear coated it .. looks very nice put the roll bar on .. made steelpis in the bottom , holes in the body .. due to the clear coat that was the only way its so smooth i worryed it would silde and leave glue marks also put the headlights and tails on ...

stunning !!!

thnx guys ! yes i had an ide like that only use glass .. but then i would have done it before paint ... would have to make something to mount it on before ...any pictures of that window you mentioned ??

pure art .. just love it !!

just glued on the glass , this is about 1mm thick on the cobra .. this just makes sense and completes the color sceme

thats nice !!! love it

whouw thats yours ?? awsome looking cobra ..about exactly how i would want it to look if i had one myself .. and .yes i study-ed cobra pictures ans also noticed my cobr had a more flat earea around where the windshield go's ... i never tried to copy a real window ..i just made something .. the one i have now is infact very narrow .. and low ..i tried some things to try and give it a more sleek look .. to keep it looking like a cobra but at the same time have a new fresh look / lines ... so my window will be narrow and low .. i figured sme have those very small curved windows so i could do what i want .. now i did want to resemble the original window in some way .. shape wise .. its more like it looks a tad like ....... so indeed just a free hand custom way ...without ruining (or at east i'm trying) the lines of the cobra .. the roll bar .. i understand .. irl you want a higher one , you want 3 legs at least .. now i added a 3th leg on nthe rear .. just did not look nice .. visually .. just one bow and low looked great .. again a compromise on looks and flow of the lines .. when its done and all together i want it to look fast standing still ... so yes i understand all you are saying and thnx for all the input ! much apriciated !!! here is the frame all painted back and with a good coat of clear i now know this was the way to go i put it loose on the body ...and man in this exact same gloss black as the rest .. just fits perfect and way nicer then bras or alu .. really completes the whole theme ... glass will be different i will use some superthin sheet stuff .. back of the frame is now flat so i can glue the glass on the back .. have some depth in the frame and glass and then just make the edges of the glass back before gluing it on .. with the angle then it cant be seen ... one minour challenge will be gluing the frame with glass on the body ... just tiny bit of contact earea and with the angle it will want to fall back .. i want to make a alu strip sand it as thin as possible make it flat blck and glue the frame on that that will look like a rubber strip ..and give me contact surface

thnx kevin !

love the gasser direction > looks great

love it .. love the damaged look , really realistic !

nice !!

after some frustration i got this > primed it so i can see what i'm doing ..

rear vieuw mirror , not the kit mirror .. this one was nicer .. dechromed it exept the mirror and sprayes it black and then clear coat .. will sit on top of the bdy in the middle window 3.0 .... pulled it apart .. will change the mount way .. add a lower bar like it had before .. prime > black > clear and then mount glass inside ... i just loved the brass just dont fit with this theme .. all grey and black and then i can do details like the yellow gear knob that matches the steering wheel stripe

thnx dan !

yuuup i dig it . great looking custom .. the red with the tan top .. nice !!

nice job .. like the gulf color sceme ...i like it !! yes the wheels looks weird the center fasteners stick out so far it would be a safety hazzard irl .. and the frnt wheels would look a lot better more inwards instead of sticking out ...

well made the sideposts of the windshield black , the alu was just to bright for the bodycolors ..... then the seem between the window surounding and the posts didnt look nice ..so i made brass covers used round brass wire and flattened it then bend and made the ends run into the frame

nice kit ray !
