X2 every thing that has been said. Great imagination and execution. -
Very nice looking Cobra!

I really like what you have accomplished with the kit and the added detail.

Back in the 1960's models of foreign race cars were hard to find. One option inspired by Don Emmonds articles in hot rod magazines was to carve your own in wood! Bare in mind though that references were not easy to find either except B&W photos in magazines like Road & Track. Below are my some of my efforts back then.

Outstanding craftmanship! I have only had my hands on one and it was a challenge and then to see what you have done leaves me in awe. -
I don't care for the car but you did a great job with the model.
-
Wow! Excellent accomplishment.

Looking very nice Rex and I have not forgotten your parts. Gary

Mecom Lola Mk VI GT
Gramps46 replied to Dave B's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Very nicely done David, It can be a challenge building a slot body as nicely as you did. I picked up a set of wheels for the MK 6 GT that I was told came from a 3n1 kit, maybe an Oldsmobile. Anybody have more information? -
The trailer came out of the parts box and I really don't remember whether it was AMT or SMP based.

Thank you all for your comments, I appreciate them. The body started life as a vacuum formed 1/25th scale slot car body by Scuderia Scale. Then Bill Landis and Dave Spazaro (SPL?) made solid resin castings. I took one of their castings and re-profiled the fenders and a few other pieces. When AMT reissued the El Camino I knew I had to the set.

The MAMA Boys and the Dayton Crew will remember this ensemble from the 2002 Toledo NNL. The one time I forgot my camera so thanks to Lyle for the photos. Gary

Marvelous work as always Pico. Now you have me thinking about the 1:1 Ghia Supersonic body that was placed on a 427 Cobra chassis by John Willment. Or would that be sacrilege? Gary

Very nice clean build. I like how you made the effort to pick out the rivets.
