Tks for the comments guys, I appreciate it. I had great fun building it & flaring the guards etc. all those years ago & still enjoy building Cobra's. Will post some more later.
Tks again
I built this around 25 years ago & it is still one of my favourite builds. I have just given it a 'sympathetic' restoration by polishing the ute and fitting Daytona Coupe wheels that I cast from my Gunze Sanyo kit. Also fitted home cast Goodyear Blue Streak tyres & flip type gas cap. Scratch built the car trailer also
Hope you enjoy
Tks for looking.

Tks Guys. Bart, Tks for the correction as I wasn't 100% sure when I posted it. The boat was a separate release by AMT years back. Has been re-released a couple of times, I'm pretty sure I re-engined it some time back though with the cammer

Hi guys,
Just a couple of pics of my '56 T'Bird and drag boat. Bit too much glare to show the irridescent yellow but you can't win them all. Still learning my digital SLR
Tks for looking

Tks for the kind words guys. Sorry Dave, I have a friendly panel shop owner & I just call in from time to time with jars and pick up the scraps. It's just an auto acrylic, clear coated & polished.

Tks for the comments guys, tyres are from the Ratrod kit, wheels the parts box but I'm pretty sure they are they same as those in the '58 T Bird bubble top release

Built this one a while ago along the lines of Weston's roadster he displayed at the '56 Oaklands GNRS. Running modern chassis components though.
Sorry about the background colour, must paint the board light grey. Thanks for looking

Tks for the comments.
The wheels are from the parts box, no idea of the source, sorry. As for the Arias I thought why not, I had 2 & still have 1 left, and it is a little different.
Tks again

I built this quite a while ago but thought it may be worth while posting a couple of pics. Used a blown Arias out of the tractor puller kit (it had 3). Hope someone out there enjoys it!!
Tks for looking

Beautiful build, I have built a couple of 1/43 & can appreciate the work you have put into it. Would dearly love an affordable 1/24 model of one.

Another one I original built as a young bloke. Long gone now but luckily AMT also re-released the Ala Kart as well. Along with the Silhouette I posted last week this is my only other 'show rod' model. Luckily I also have another Ala Kart as it wasn't until after this one was built did I realise the chassis is body colour and the steering wheel and interior panels are black!!!!! That was thanks to a great article in Rodders Journal so I'm now looking forward to building it again, but right this time. Box stock but with Cady decals. Thanks for looking.
