Thanks Ron.

Steve, yes wheels, knockoffs & tires are included.

Thanks for the compliments gentlemen. HRM's kits are beautiful.

Additional photos.

Base kit: AMT Cobra Trans Kit: Historic Racing Miniatures - body, hood, windshield, roof w/ back glass, engine, wheels/tires Decals: hand cut stripes with generic number & roundels Paint: Tamiya TS-7 Racing White

She's Under GLass

Finally down off the jack stands and up on her feet (a fresh set of Dunlop Racing wheels & tires). She acts like a race car now it time to put the decals on show she look like one too.

Thanks Marcos. It is bascially finished minus the decals. No decal set is available for this car, atleast non that I am aware of. I will try on post some more photos tonight.

No, HRM ships pretty quick.

Chassis permanently installed, head & driving lights mounted.

Ready for final assembly & decaling. Paint is Tamiya Racing White.

Built a few years back. Basically box stock with a few added details.

Hey Cruz, now that you have the curbside under your belt your ready for a full detail build

Richard I have read that the '67 Shelbys like the '66 Mustangs were built to FIA Group II specs which required full interiors wtih only carpeting delete allowed. Is there a differnce between FIA Group II and SCCA/A Sedan specs? Just to confirm the cars originally raced with only a single hoop roll bar, in lieu of a full cage - correct?

2/8 Update: Interior finished, body in white primer, added identification lights to roof.

The trans kit come with a very nice engine. The Weber carbs and intake are gorgeous. However on my CSX 2026 build I used the 289 out of Monogram's GT350R Mustang.

Here is what HRM's KidneyBean Halibrand look like.

I'm not sure the oil cooler in the fender well is 100% accurate. Just a bit of intuition on my part. And since I am currently working on (3) Cobras I wanted to have some variation between them.

Yes all (3) cars are mine, The center car is going to be a '63 Sebring car. I am not sure if I am going to build Dan Gurney's car or Phil Hill's. More photos of the red car are here.

No I don't believe HRM is going to do the late '63 team cars. Harold does have the halibrand wheels & tires in his catalog however. The early comp car you see in the photo is another Cobra I am working on (actually all 3 cars in the photo are mine). I modified the AMT by adding the rear wheel flares. I am trying to convince Harold to do the '64 FIA cars in 1/25 scale (he already has the FIA Cobra in 1/24 scale in his catalog) but I am not having any luck yet.

Harold is a friend of mine and his builds are every bit as nice as his resin. Unfortunately for him (but fotunate for us) his resin business keeps him too busy to build much.

Here are a couple more progress photos.

Andrew I am realy impressed with your build so far. I recently completed CSX2026 which recorded the Cobra's first race victory (pictures are posted in Under Glass) but here is a sample. I am also working on CSX2142 which is the Shelby Teams' '63 Le Man entry (posted in On the Workbench). I found a great Cobra reference site you may want to check out www.csxinfo.net Based on what I have seen so far I don't think you need any of my help but if you have any questions maybe I can help. I have a fairly extensive Cobra library.

Cruz, here is a great reference site for your build: www.csxinfo.net Can't wait to see what you come up with.
