Thank you Deuces

Getting closer to the finish. Interior is installed. Chassis is mounted, not much more to go.

LOL, ismaelg its so true. What’s wrong with us?

I have a question about flocking. What glue or adhesive does one use?

Good morning. Did the chassis and mounted the motor.Nothing fancy here. No brake lines etc. just chassis black and a few painted parts.

Skymnky721 you cobra look great!

Let’s see all of your 1/16 scale cobras!!!

Thank you 511 nova. I’m going to spray the chassis trim black. Painted the firewall and chassis. Not going to get carried away with the under carriage. No brake lines just engine detail. I was supposed to make this a easy build but got carried away a little with the motor. Here is a pic of what I have done today.

You know Deuces that is a good question. But I figured that since it is a big block with a few more horses and more weight that the crossmember might help keep it straight and strong. The crossmember is not on the instructions.But included in the kit. So maybe it is only on the convertible. Great question.

Laying out the chassis. Cut the rear wheel wells out to fit the rear tires. Put a brass crossmember for the transmission. The optional custom suspension is great! The stance is perfect. 1/25 cars usually have a very bad stance. This kit is very good . Put the exhaust in as you have to put that in before the cross brace and rear end. Have to modify the front of the exhaust to meet the big block exhaust manifolds. So far this is one cool kit as fit and finish is very good. I will do another. Not quite a tamiya kit but very close. I am impressed. Here is a pic of the chassis

Thank you Deuces ,Thank you Modlbldr, and Thank you beeRS

Thank you Deuces and mod3l Lover. Here is a pic of the fan assembly

Carb fuel lines are in place.starting to look like a hot rod.

Good morning. The motor is wired. Now the carb. Was not going to change and detail this much but cannot help myself. It’s addicting

Looks fantastic!!!! I’ll be watching and learning

Thank you Deuces and 511 nova.

Motor in the car. Firewall fits , dash fits. Lucky so far. Steering box is going to be a challenge but the rest is good. There should be enough clearance for the fan and radiator. Pretty happy with it so far.

Here is the big block. Going to be a 4 speed car. Was going to leave it alone to build my friends car. Had to put a big block and 4 speed in it. Had to modify the exhaust manifolds . The angle was wrong. The big block came from the revell 66 el Camino kit. 18436572 is the firing order. Small block next to the big block. Here goes

Thank you beeRS. Here is the firewall primed. Put the interior dash in and it fits.

Cutting the firewall for the big block.

Very Very Nice!!!!!!
