Thank you very much fellows !

Hi gang ! I’m back with a simple build . Some may remember I sopped building mid 2023 after I finished the Agoura Shelby Cobra . So what made me do another kit ? Well when I found this one I had to get it because it was my second car that I owned about 69/70 . Mine alas was not an SS . Bench seat , auto , 283 with dual exhaust . So this is not exact but as close as I could get with the kit parts . Only thing extra I bought was the steel wheels . Not the best I ever did , I felt a little rusty . Paint is not great and in the past I would have stripped it and do it over . Chassis as you know , is a one piece affair so I detailed the best I could . Tamiya paints were used . I must admit it was good to get back in it if only for one kit . I look in from time to time and have seen some great models . Thanks for looking . Ray

Nice work. Great 70's vibe

Very nice.

I'm was born and raised in Chicago and was there in 67 when we had a blizzard. I forget the year but I saw a huge tornado from my front yard. It tore through my high school ( OLCHS ) and ripped it apart pretty good. One hour earlier and the school would have been full of kids on all 3 floors. It seems that where ever you live there is something not to like.

I have to admit that the summers here are tough but the rest of the year the weather is great ! Not that hard to survive, air in the cars, house, stores, movie theaters. I have been here about 16 or so years and at first it was tougher to me than it is anymore.

Cool stuff !

You built one great looking model !

Too bad about the bad dash fit but at least you have it sitting pretty !

I don't remember ever seeing that box.

That is one great looking model !

Great looking replica.

Thank you Hector.

Pretty cool that a 17 year old built that.

Nice color , I’m sure you will do another knock out paint job !

Thank you much Bob, I am quite pleased with it.

A bit different than what I have come to expect from you but it is very cool ! Love the paint job !

Beautiful finish.

Wife wanted to take in a movie today . Her pick . She chose Sound of Freedom . Based on a true story . If you don’t know it’s about child sex trafficking . ( can I say that ?) It was actually filmed 5 years ago but only made it to the big screen this week . I can’t say why because it would be political . I hope it was ok to post this . Was an eye opener for us .

Well done, looks good.

Thanks David. I still have at least 40 or so unbuilt Cobras in my collection but I doubt I will ever build again.

I can’t thank you enough guys . I got a case from Amazon for about 70 bucks . Built it today and put the Cobra in it . I added an emblem and Shelby’s signature hat !

Thank you very much fellows !

I got a huge display case for the 1/8 Shelby Cobra.

Nicely done !
