Stunning! Love the color. Either the BMF work is perfect or you have the steadiest hand anywhere.

Great job! I need to send you my BRE Datsun 510 to do the two tone paint on it.

Nice job. It looks fast just sitting there.

Differences of opinion are just that, opinions, and like hind parts, everyone's got one and some stink. I like the way you did it. The BMF would be too shiny. The green looks fine to me.

Beautiful work. I especially like the 11. A local friend was going to do a run of those in 1:1 and wanted to call them The Eastlake 11. East Lake is an area here in Chattanooga, TN. He built one that I know of. It was beautiful, but green of course. I like the yellow!

It may be your first shot at scratch building but I think you've figured it out. I'm impressed.

Execllent! Love that color.

Nice! Purple, my wifes' favorite.

I don;t blame you, I'd be proud too. Beautiful build.

I immediately said a long Oooooooooooooooooo. Stunningly beautiful. I love the clean simple lines.

Beautifully done.

I actually attended the 1963 Oakland roadster Show. I was in the US Navy and attending Radar School on Treasure Island, between San Fran and Oakland during that time. Bought a sweatshirt from Ed Roth with "Mother's Worry" on the front. He autographed it. I had a bunch of pictures but 50 years later, they're in a land fill somewhere with the sweatshirt. Can't attest to the accuracy of the diorama but it does seem familiar. I especially remember the red Merc. I think Roth's booth was on the left but then, it could just be my imagination.

Great work! They look like winners to me.

Love it, Bryan!

Nice job! This model is on my list of future builds.

Reminds me of a '40 that was for sale when I was 16. They only wanted $60 and all it needed was some wiring work. My Dad vetoed the idea. I didn't have any source of income so this would have been my Dad's burden, but man I wanted it so bad.

Great idea, he'll love it! GO VOLS!!!!!

Excellent replica! I wish SpeedTV still had Thursday Night Thunder where midgets and monsters like your replica tore it up on dirt tracks.

I like everything about it! The design concept is really excellent.

Yes, it does. Thanks a lot!

What colors of metalizer are you using? Different tones under different color coat?

You can make a boot lid. Cobra's aren't a complicated shape.

Thanks, Bryan.

Go for it! My car inspired several builds in the area where I live. I did a lot of things to mine that added a lot of extra work like rounding the leading edge and rear edge of the cockpit opening. The Factory Five is flat and I wanted it to look like the real thing. The rear on the Factory Five sticks up too high too so it had to lower it. Hiding the bolts that hold the body onto the frame had to go. I would have finished it several months sooner than I did but sometimes that anal retentive stuff kicks in. I'd do one a lot simpler if I did one again. In fact, a buddy in our Miata club wanted to know if I'd do another one. I told him no, just can't hold up physically to that kind of work. Get that gal through law school and do it. You'll be glad you did. I was.

I love it! It's just like on my brother in law built. You did a great job!
