Cannot have a Cobra discussion with the man that made it all possible.

Good to know. Can someone elaborate on the differences in the rear seat?

That is awesome. Looks like you did all the mods as the real one.

I saw decals for sale on Ebay and they mysteriously disappeared. There were decals for the Ford MKIV also by the same seller but I cannot find those either. They were about $8.

I know this an old thread but I remember when Revell would send you a correct replacement interior if you cut out the proof of purchase and mailed it to them. Hard to say if they still have them.

Sweet.

Thanks for that info. Weird they went with the single carb but it was a one off so I guess it should not be surprising. Also odd it has the 289 style air cleaner. Here is the Mecum listing.

All the 67 GT500s came with dual carbs.

It would fill up that engine bay nicely.

I would get the Plamoz wheels, use any 60's whitewall tires you can find, the Keith Marks decals and the 427 engine from the Monogram 427 Cobra.

Ouch on that price. The photo etch looks nice though.

I just found out and missed the going out of business sale. They carried a lot of RC stuff but also slot cars and trains and a great selection of model kits (at retail prices). I will miss the paints selection. Another local hobby shop closed a year ago - sad to see them keep disappearing because they will never be back. I'm not a big fan of mail order (due to shipping costs) and I only buy older kits on Ebay and the selection at the local Craft stores is pretty spotty. Sadly the closest Hobby Lobby is not very close.

Looks very nice Ray.

Maybe use some craft ribbon for the tie down straps.

I prefer older Mustangs but this one is super sweet. Cost of the transkit if anyone was wondering.

You are correct. There is another thread all about the Watts link system. I guess it is "floating" versus independent like a Corvette. I suppose the parts on the model could be modified to be correct.

I would consider a trade for some or perhaps all of what you see here. I have the Monogram and MPC Pace car decals plus the Cafe Race kit which was probably modified from the Pace Car. PM me if you have anything unique to trade.

I picked up four of the conversions for future projects.

Does Firebird plan to offer the decals? Great build by the way.

Uggh - that molded in green one. Use lots of primer.

I found these guides from Marsh models to be useful.

Did Brad stop making them? Send him a check and he would probably make one.

Fantastic work. I have some of their decals for future projects.

Super sweet and welcome to the 68 Shelby club. Good choice on the 69 engine as it includes the ramair air cleaner.

Nice build. Has anyone done the green version. Too bad it burned up in a fire.
