Thanks guys. I can't say I care much for the wing myself but it was on a real car and adds a little something to my collection weird as it might be.

No bad on your part, I'm the one who forgot about the slot car. Cobra to left is a Revell Creative Masterpiece die cast and the one to the right is a Franklin Mint Boris Mistress of Fire.

No way I built all of them . My count includes die cast , resin , wood , ceramic , crystal , crayon , and one aluminum . Actually I forgot the one in a slot car set I bought awhile ago so it's really 715 .

This one was built in the fashion of one I saw on line. First pic is that car. I did not try to copy it but rather use it as guide. Used the Revell 1/24 Shelby Cobra kit. I stripped some chrome. Made the roll cage using parts from the parts box. Made the weird wing from sheet plastic. Made a front spoiler but forgot to put it on before pics. Body is painted with Duplicolor red/orange and then I painted on the white door stripes. Hood stripes are kit decals.

This one is done and pics will be in the "Under Glass" section if interested.

I like where this is heading.

Looks great even in the white !

Thanks JC !

Very sharp model.

Got a little more done on this one. Paint needs a little help. I think some polishing may help. Should be able to finish it up later this week.

Wife and I spent the past weekend in San Diego visiting my daughter. Saturday they dragged me along to shop for wedding decorations for my daughters upcoming wedding. The third stop was a Hobby Lobby. The wife took pity on me so she bought me this for being a good boy. : )

Very nicely done.

Wheels look beautiful and what a difference !!!!

Nicely built, cool car.

That's a good start ! I have been collecting since about 1992 but really took off when I discovered ebay in 1999.

Took inventory this morning. Surprised myself ! I thought about 675.

Oh boy ! Another fantastic model in the making.

You nailed it JC . This will be number 714 in my collection of Cobra's.

While searching the web I came across a Cobra with a very odd rear wing. I decided to build one trying not to do a replica but rather using it as guide for something along the same lines. Car is painted a red/orange but needs more work such as decals and clear.

Thanks guys ! I think I will have to give it a go.

I have been wanting to build a replica (at least close) of my first car. It was a 62 Ford that I bought from my dad for 50 bucks. ( it was a looooog time ago ) Anyway, I know I can buy a resin body from MCW I think it is but it is a 2 door and you use a 60 Ford kit for chassis and such. Question is how hard would it be to convert the body to a 4 door ? Not looking for it to be perfect but do I simply fill the two door lines and scribe lines for the 4 door ? Again not looking for perfection ( I gave up on that a long time ago : ) ) just wondering if there is better ideas. Thanks guys

Good looking model.

Hey guys, today at least 3 of my posts double posted. I did notice one or two from other people. Anyone know why this would happen ???

Sorry to hear he isn't doing better. I had hoped he would be. We will keep him in our thoughts and prayers.

Great looking gasser.
