Probably 12 to 15 each of the Monogram Cobra and the AMT Cobra.

Thank you much guys. Yes ,the body is over the dragster frame with a bar mounted in the bed which rests on the frame. In hindsight I should have thought through the headers. The way I mounted them makes it removing the body not possible. The headers are glued to cutouts I made in the rear section. I always mess up something, it never fails. Time to mess up another one ! : )

Great work Al.

Finished this up this morning. Started with the Der Beetle Bus kit by AMT . Cut up and modified the body to fit the chassis from the MPC Jawbreaker kit. Cut the rear wheel wells open and modified the roof section as well. Scratch built the interior, wired the engine with a MAD distributor.Modified the headers and put a fuel line in from the fuel tank. Red, white and blue paint was all Krylon Short Cuts as well as the clear. As always I welcome comments pro or con.

Latest one is a tad more wild I believe.

That's amazing ! I can't even build a decent model !

Trouble with a great model like this is that you run out of ways to say " Fantastic Work ".

Looks good to me.

Cool looking wagon.

Looks like it matches the little one pretty well.

Very sharp !

Good looking Vette Troy.

Happy birthday Harry !!! I hope you did something fun today.

Thanks Joe. Putting the windows in and other finishing touches today.

Thank you all. I did try and paint the whites or find a die cast with some that would work but those plans did not work out.

Wow ! That is one good looking Nova.

Wow ! That is one good looking Nova.

Thank you Carl. I should be able to finish this one sometime Monday.

Very nice color.

Great start to a cool project.

This little kit was a pain. It is the Gunze Sangyo kit. Painted red and white using Krylon Short Cuts paint and clear. The roof does work but is not without it problems. I found the fit to be not great ( maybe my fault ) and the hinges are stiff and fragile. Not something you want to move much. The windshield frame was cracked and so thin it was very fragile. I had to repair it 3 times. The last time I got overly aggressive with it and was rewarded with glue on the windshield. I dare not take it out to polish it because I knew the frame would break again. I decided to tint it blue in hopes to hide the glue. I did not work. : ) This is not my best work but to be honest I am amazed I finished it and did not make it a wall missile . On with the show !!

Oh boy !! What a cool project. Gotta love those 4 big tires out back.

Congrats ! Car is very sharp.

That looks real nice. I must get one of those kits.

Nice looking Cobra.
