Looking good Joe.

Ray, the Revell kit is a straight re-issue of the Monogram Essex Wire kit with different decals.

Nice work Dann. Are the wheels and tires the stock kit parts? Looks like they might be Fujimi.

Very nice Jeff.

#7: Kidney Bean Hlibrands - possibly from AMT's Shelby Cobra

This is great news. Wonder why it took so long for someone to offers these.

Very nice.

Revell should put you on the payroll Dennis.

Looks good Mitch, what belt set did you use?

Great start Matt. Are you building a particular car? The white metal engine has crisp detail. Wish some one would cast it resin.

Finished engine.

Fab'd the hood flange and fit the Monogram hood.

Be safe.

A Cobra of some type certainly. MFH sets the standard for detail level. Unfortunately they also set the price bar.

The carnage keeps piling up and for what purpose?

Subaru were dominate during this era. I'll be watching.

More engine progress.

Yep. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/106042-csx3016-cobra-427-1119-update-dash/

Gene, I fab'ed this one awhile ago. I don't love it but I think it might work. I still have to come up with a realistic way to mount it. Honestly I haven't worked on it some time. I am focused more on my 427 build at the moment.

This topic filter hasn't worked for me since the forum update. Anyone having issues with it?

Thanks Ray & Joe. Steering wheel and scratch built dash. Includes the correct reverse rotation (counter clockwise) center mounted speedometer.

These are the tires I referenced above. R&M offers solid resin cast copies.

Nice project Eric. What did you "brush" the BMF with - looks great.

When GQ booked Tom Brady for an hour-long, one-on-one sitdown last month, the venerable men's magazine and its correspondent, Chuck Klosterman, had hoped the result would be an intimate look at the NFL's biggest star. That sitdown eventually became a 45-minute phone conversation that reached a sudden dead end when Klosterman attempted to converse with Brady about the Patriots' AFC Championship Game ball-deflation scandal, better known to the free world as Deflategate. Sample interaction: CK: But what you're suggesting is that the reality of this is subjective. It's not. Either you were "generally aware" of (ball deflation) or you weren't. TB: I understand what you're trying to get at. I think that my point is: I'm not adding any more to this debate. I've already said a lot about this -- CK: Tom, you haven't. I wouldn't be asking these questions if you had. There's still a lack of clarity on this. TB: Chuck, go read the transcript from a five-hour appeal hearing. It's still ongoing. CK: I realize it's still ongoing. But what is your concern? That by answering this question it will somehow -- TB: I've already answered all those questions. I don't want to keep revisiting what's happened over the last eight months. Whether it's you, whether it's my parents, whether it's anybody else. If that's what you want to talk about, then it's going to be a very short interview. The interview ends shortly thereafter. Brady is famously guarded, so perhaps it shouldn't be surprising he didn't want to go down a Deflategate rabbit hole. For what it's worth, Klosterman finds Brady's guardedness to be unnecessary and suspicious. We suggest you read the entire profile, which doesn't pierce the TB12 force field, but does offer up some intelligent discourse both on Brady and what the Patriots represent to the modern NFL.

Great car Mitch is it yours? Looks like the Revell T-Bolt roof would be a good starting point for the conversion.
