Shown a few of my WIPs on the primer table at NNL Mid-Atlantic but don't believe I have any pictures of them on the table.

It is the current/latest reissue.

Thank you for sharing these.

Very nice work.

The easiest route to build an Essex Wire Cobra is to start with the very nice Monogram kit which includes appropriate Good-Year Sports Car Special race tires.

Interesting.

Nice work.

Another great build Roger.

Gunnar, I scratch built the dual batteries, support tray and anchoring brace. Positive cable typically connects to the starter solenoid, Negative cable to a ground on the frame.

As William mentioned, dual batteries behind the passenger seat.

Great looking project. What is the source of the front wheels & tires?

Very few 427 Cobras competed with dry sump lubrication. I attempted to replicate this with my build of CSX3016 which was a 427 that ran a dry sump system. The puke or overflow reservoir is the black cylindrical tank on the fire wall behind the engine. The larger tank (which I scratch built) on the right side foot well is the remote oil reservoir. My build is based on the 1/25 scale Sunny kit. The fill for the remote reservoir appears in the front right fender. The tell for a dry sump car.

Ollie the Dragon as originally competed: and in his latter years of competition.

You need to determine what time period for each chassis number you want to build as these cars evolved significantly over time. This will help you determine what details would be most accurate. I agree with Rex (vamach1) the Revell kit is a more accurate kit to start with. Lap belts only typically. Shoulder belts may have been added during the car's evolution. Cooling fans where primarily used for street cars and not (typically) used on competition cars. As an example there appears to be no shoulder belt in this photo. However in this photo there does appear to be a shoulder belt. That is why it is best to select a time period you want to replicate.

Pigs On The Wing - Alternate Version

Great looking prject.

Always enjoy a Dennis Lacy project.

Very nice.

I was unaware of this album - released in 2014.

Turned out great Dennis.

Great conversion.

A great documentary, I caught it on AXS TV: John Mellencamp - Its About You.

Great looking project.
