1965 Shelby Ford Cobra - or maybe not …
TooOld replied to absmiami's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Blasphemy !! We only built "to customer order" and in 19 1/2 years we only did 4 or 5 Chevy motors , the vast majority were 427's and quite a few 351W's . -

Nope . Same wheelbase and track as original 427 S/C Cobras . -

I worked for EM from 1987 thru 2006 when the owners decided to retire , in 2007 the company was sold and moved from Florida to Texas . As far as I know EM is still selling replicas using our Gen IV designs , although the last I heard they have upgraded the drivetrain and are now selling a Gen V Cobra Replica . I've been away from that industry for many years and really don't have any more info than that . I have hundreds of photos from my time there but here a few , these are all from the early 2000's . -

I can tell you with 100% certainty that this was built using an Everett-Morrison Motorcars Cobra kit , there are at least a dozen areas shown in those photos that are unique the EM Cobras . I know because I was Chief Engineer and Shop Foreman at EM for nearly 20 years . I don't know the owner/builder but he made several changes/improvements to our kit resulting in a very convincing replica , still there are some of our parts used that were never seen on original Cobras . -
Such a clean looking build , beautifully done !

Sharp Impala Douglas ! Like the colors and it's a cool tribute to your own car .

That is really really nice , great save Jesse !
-
Great save Tom , the Mercurys are sharp looking cars ! Love that blue !

Thanks Chris ! Thanks very much Pierre that Daytona has always been one of my favorites too ! The Woody is a simple kit but really fun . . . I printed decals for the wood , lots of tiny ones on the sides but much easier than you'd think . Thanks Mike ! I started building those types many years ago and still enjoy them . I'm building a special display case for the Daytona .

Very nicely done Craig , those are some beautiful builds ! -
That turned out super nice Joe ! Your additional details really helped the overall look . I had one of these kits (dark blue w/flames) but sold it . For some reason it just didn't look right to me , maybe because it was so much larger than other T-Buckets on my shelf . . . I probably should have given it a go .

My earlier post shows the new decals with the flames , but the built model still has the chrome reverse wheels . -
