Looking good Scott..it's a Nascar style MSD HEI terminal distributor Good job on the leather seats ?

Sonny, JC, Kurt, Dann, I hear you about the movie, one of my Favorites, saw it with my buddies in the theatre when it came out ..a blast Yep I would take the Cobra over the Ferrari too .. just based on the price of replacement parts ..lol I got a bit more work done on fitting the body, chassis, interior tub,... There were no locators for the tub, so installed one And had to grind out some tub bottom to allow the frame to sit properly Went to my local Canadian Tire to peruse the Duplicolor selection,... This is Ford colour medium blue metallic CBFM0382,...very close, but in person...looks like it would be great on a Meyers Manx.... little too much This is the only engine shot of the Cobra in the actual film...looks like they used the large oval air cleaner on a single 4bbl carb. ...so that's what I'll do....

??

Single malt colour?

Nice detail for 1/64th there Paul?

Nice,...this is gonna look sweet ;),...where abouts did you aquire those tires..?

Beautiful Build Francis !!!

Nice start Blake, colour looks good ?

Thanks for sharing those Brian, good tutorials , and it looks Great ?

I missed the start of this one... Good stuff going on here Martin !

Nice work Ismo ? How did you achieve the window frame ? LOve this song !!

Thats looking good so far Howard,..is that the kit engine..?

Nice work cleaning up the kit parts John ?

This is looking Great Scott ! Nice work ? See you at the starting line

me neither... Mike, good luck with the retina recovery ! The problem with leaving the burr is that the p/e companies etch to a very high tolerance, as does, Tamiya, Fujimi,....et al. So that leaving them, may interfere with future steps in the build. This is looking good so far Chris..take yer time and have fun !!

Thank you Carl Cheers Misha ...see you at the Cannonball start in December...?

Oh man..you got it as bad as I do..sometimes. Just a quick build to pass the time, while the paint dries on this project.. now I need to order some brackets, and new wheels, better wires..............?

This is looking cool Michi ! Almost there now ! Cheers

Beautiful paint colour, what is it? Nice Ferrari ?

Nice bunch of builds Doug !?

Thanks Dann? I forgot to mention the help I received from Bill (65slotcar) who supplied these bumpers

The competition is ramping up for the Cannonball 2020 down in Community builds...check it out... Cars seen in movies or on T.V. ... There are millions of ideas.. I chose to try and build the Cobra from the movie "The Gumball Rally"..because I had a Sam Feinstein Cobra in the pile. i don't think there is too much difference between the two, but,,...I'm hoping the experts will jump in on this one. The movie car colour, I believe to be Sapphire blue... a little lighter than Gaurdsman blue....I think It's a Revell of Germany kit with very vague locating points between the body, interior bucket and chassis.. The first thing I did was destroy that end entrance box ...(man those are a pain).. and got to dry fitting and sanding and filling... I decided early on that I was going to cut out the doors and trunk... the movie car had square cut outs in the hood, so This is csx3243 now after a paint job and mechanical restoration... https://colinsclassicauto.com/inventory/1967-shelby-427-cobra-csx3243-the-gumball-rally-cobra/#prettyPhoto I bought this set of BF Goodrich radial T/A's from Joseph (Fireball model works) some time ago and they are almost perfect...the front sidewalls are just a bit too tall for me... still hunting After trying to grind out the gills, I noticed I had burned right through the exhaust ports on the body so a repair was needed... then I got rid of the gills too ...( don't even ask...) Got a start on the engine And this is where we sit now.... I have also filed down the windscreen fame, thinned all visible body edges, and sanded about 4 linear miles of tubular frame mould lines... my carpal tunnel is plugged More to come as it happens... Please Q+ C +C's welcome Cheers

Looks like some acetone splashed on there...? Good to see you back in it Kurt? Awesome Pete? A bit of update or... fixing of mistakes... One more swipe with the filler goop should do.. On to the hinges and a new gas tank.... Cheers Cannonballers!!

Beautiful job on that Rich... chrome,..interior,...paintwork,...? That is some hip chrome at the B pillar ? Cheers
