    I honestly wish I'd found a way to make the stock spoiler. That's the only difference between my real car and this replica I didn't have a cervini. Mine was stock. Thank you for the kind words. Lengthy build for a first time scratch builder.

    Badass! I'm looking forward to getting this notch kit

    Thank you. Had to do some work for the ride height but nothing major. These kits sit higher than scale stock straight out of the box. I appreciate the compliment..

    It helps that revell/monogram make nice kits to begin with. The rear bumper was the toughest part. Thank you so much.

    Well it's finished aside from the fully red hood still in the final phases. If you decide to do it I'm happy to offer any info. It's really not too bad of a conversion. The back bumper is the hardest part. That's no truly defined body molding line to follow so going super slow and extra careful when cutting them both off is off utmost importance of you get it even slightly at an angle, the 3 way radius of the corners of the bumpers are a nightmare to reign back into proper shape. Took me 4 days to straighten it out. But I'm also me to scratch building.

    Thank you!

    Thank you! It's my first scratch and bash aside from adding a trim molding out something to a truck kit.

    Thanks man. I was 25 and car poor. I spent so much in engine mods and wheels and tires I couldn't afford to get the Harwood 3"cowl professionally painted. So I decided to dress up the primer??‍♂️. I wouldn't do that today and I DO have another hood almost ready for the red paint to have a non 25yr old car poor version. ,?
  9. Trip started following Revell 93 cobra conversion to 93 GT. Replica of my old car

    I used the revel 93 cobra and the monogram 89 Gt convertible to create this car. Wheels I had CAD and then printed to 1:24 scale 16". Boyd Coddington 5 star billet. I cut the bottom of the convertible off at the bottom edge of the molding on sides sand back bumper. Then cut the smooth cobra bottom off. Added the GT ground affects to the cobra.
