SWEET SLOT MAN, IT LOOKS SCARY FAST, POST A VIDEO OF IT, FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN THIS THINGS RUN.

YEAH, YOU DID NOT SAY IT, BUT YOU MEANT IT.

WHAT HE IS SAYING IS.....I AM SO TIRED OF TRANSLATING IN ENGLISH THAT I DECIDED TO LEAVE IT LIKE THAT. I HAVE NOT HAD MY COFFE YET. THE RIGHT ARM IS THE ONE I DID, CORRECTED WITH THE PLASTIC AND THE LEFT IS THE ONE THAT CAME WITH THE KIT "IT SUCKS" .NOT ONLY ITS NOT ACURATE AND IS SO SOFT THAT IT BENDS BY LOOKING AT IT. TATO, DESPIERTA!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!! THIS IS MODEL MAGAZINE FORUM....

DANICA WOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR CONSISTENCE.

WHAT ABOUT LOWERING THE ROOF A FEW INCHES, JUST A THOGHT.

MY SUGESTION ABOUT THE HOOD, YOU ARE TRYING TO INCORPORATE AS MUCH FROM THE COBRA TO THE FAIRLANE AND THE HOOD WAS THE FIRST THING i RECOGNIZED. don't TOUCH IT. YOU COULD EVEN INCORPORATE THE BIG FOG LIGHTS ON THE BUMPER. AND PAINT THE BUMPER SAME AS THE CAR. IT WILL REALLY SCREAM COBRA. ABOUT THE COLOR, CHECK WHAT COLORS THEY CAME FROM FACTORY. AS FAR AS I REMEMBER, BLACK, RED, FUNKY PURPLE COLOR THAT CHANGES, SORRY I DON'T KNOW THE NAME. FOR THAT YEAR 95-96. I KNOW THAT THE GT CAME IN MORE COLORS LIKE THE ASTEK GOLD, YELLOW, DEEP METAL NAVY

i SAW IT IN EBAY, TRY IN SLOT CARS SECTION. THIS BODY CAME IN CLEAR PLASTIC AND STYRENE. I SEEN IT IN RESIN, BUT THEY STOPED MAKING THEM. DON'T KNOW WHY, SINCE THIS TYPE FLY OFF THE SHELLS.

can I make a request. 1. ferrari 288 gto 2. ferrari dino 3. 56 testa rosa 4. to finish before you die...... 1962 250 gto GRACIAS sign, ENZO FERRARI

how did you get that hood, it's perfect and a great detail on this monster. the engine bay is going to stand out with that big twin cam and big intake. the only thing I don't like is the chrome rims, but that is just me. Factory rims like the cobra are dull in color or brushed aluminum. I just would like this project to look more performance than a street cruiser.....but it is your baby, GO WITH YOUR IDEA thanks for sharing, GO FORD GO!!!!!!

COME ON!!!!!!!! MORE, PLEEESSSEEEEEEE!!!!!

Hola Rey You need to show the rest of your builds for the enjoyment of our friends in this side of the pond. I call this EL FERRARI DE ZORRO

thank you for the tip. I got rid off those tackie white strings anyway so it looks much better.

Alright, I was able to do something this past week. it started to look like a race car. Question for the NASCAR heads out there. The OIL tank behind the driver, is that for the engine or for the rear end, since I see that it has a pulley driven pump conected to the drive shaft. I am having trouble loking for referenses. I know, you ere sopused do that first and then start the build. I am eventually learning as I go along. some pics of my progress

that's box stock? I guess this kit is not that bad, in the sence of details Your work for sure has a lot to do with the finished product. nice to see a open wheel formula once in a while.

I remember my dad building models and telling me not to play with it I did, I broke them, he got mad, untill he started to buy me one and that solved th problem. 1975 1975-1981 built cars, 1982-1984 built fighter jets and stoped dead turkey. in 1985 built a pro stock and started customizin it and stop again. 1986 got my real car and all my money went to it, and girls. what got me back, after I am already married and goin thru the same o thing work, oay bills, go home...one day I stop at a hobbie shop on my way home 1996 that I happen to see by chance and went in and that good old craetive feeling came back, grabed a magazine amazed that they had magazines about model cars and saw what people were doing and it just blew my head.....i GOT A BOOK ON MODEL CARS and read it like it was a Bible.... started building. In the magazine I saw an add for MODEL EMPIRE catalog and I got it. I wanted to rebuy all my old models that I built went I was a kit, most rare and discontinued. Got a jungle jim funny car, just like the one my father got me the first time and I built it like it just came out of the track. I detailed it and paint it and I put the decals, something I could not do back then because of the mess and because it use to come off cause I played with it right after I finished them. I saw a flyer for a Model Contest and I went very proud with my entre, I saw people checking it out and talking about it and talking about the old days of 70's funny cars. But what I saw on the table next to mine incredible cars.....that I realized their was so much I could learn and do. and I have never stoped. and with the discovery of ebay, this forum and other forums like this one forgitaboutit i don't think i can stop. by the way I gave that funny car to my dad as a gift and he just smiled and giggled and started to study it just like a kid again.

LOOKING AT IT IS NOT ENOFF. I WANT TO SEAT ON THAT LEATHER AND TAKE A BIG SNIFF...... AND THEN CRANK THAT ENGINE AND FEEL THE VIBRATION OF THE STRAIT 8 GOING THRU THE STERING WHEEL AND LET IT TINGLE MY FINGERS AND RADDLE MY SPINE. OPEN THE GLOVE BOX, TAKE OUT MY SHADES SEAT BACK, PUT MY ARM RESTED IN THE SEAT HOLDIND A HONEY TIGHT, (NO SEAT BELT). WITH THE OTHER HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL. I LET IT OUT SLOW...AND I JUST GO AND GET LOST AND PLEASE.......LET ME DREAM, DON'T WAKE ME UP.....

THE BEST THING YOU DID WAS GO AGAINST THE GRAIN. YOU DID AND IT PAID OFF. THIS OLD CARS ARE LIKE A PAIR OF JEANS, THE OLDER AND ROFFER THEY GET THE BETTER. NO OFFENCE TO THE SHINNY ONES BUT THE OLD LOOK IS IN RIGHT NOW AND THE FEW THAT CAN DO THIS NEED THE RECOGITION. UNKI CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS THAT GREG TOOK OF THIS CAR IT IS ON THE SHOW AND CONTEST SECTION. THE BODY WORKS AS A FRAME FOR THE BEAUTIFULL ENGINE. MAN, YOU NAIL THE LOOK. IF THE COMPETITION WASN.T SO FEARS FOR SURE YOU COULD GOT MORE.....

LOVE SHELBYS AND THIS ONE IS ONE BAD RACER. WHAT SCALE IS IT? GREAT DETAILS VERY ACURATE. NEED TO DO MINE SOON.

AGREE, WHERE DID YOU GET THE IDEA FOR THE GRAPHICS IN THE ROOF, IT GIVES THE CAR ATTITUDE EXELENTE

i TRY TO LOOK AT IT AS A SLEEPER BUT I CAN'T, IT LOOKS FEARS. LOVE IT, GREAT COLOR BRO!!!
