Reeves Racing Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 I really like your posts JC. I have learned a lot from reading and looking at your posts. The pictures are super high quality and you do a good job of showing step by step progress without 9 pictures of the same thing.Thanks so much.Great work here on this build as usual.
dublin boy Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 You should look up the Mk2 Ford Escort RS 1800 build if you haven't seen it Mitch, it's amazing!Any news on it JC?

There are a couple completely from scratch builds that are very educational and interesting too.

All that remains to do are the driving lights and decals. Just have to make some bench time and get it done! Edited October 2, 2015 by afx
afx Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) More engine work. Dry sump oil pan cut from another junk Monogram engine and modified to fit. Distributor is a pre-drilled unit from Replica & Miniatures. Expansion tank is from the Revell parts pack engine. Edited October 11, 2015 by afx

mustang1989 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Scratchbuilt headers I take it? Great progress thus for JC!
afx Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 Scratchbuilt headers I take it? Great progress thus for JC!Thanks Joe. No the headers on the 427 are from the Monogram kit, just had to adjust them a bit to fit the Revell 1/25 scale block.
afx Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Not sure which one I like more . : ) Me neither Ray. Already have a couple Cobras in the display case but I keep building them. Edited October 20, 2015 by afx
afx Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Finally tracked down a copy of the SAAC Registry for a reasonable price. Haven't received the book yet but I have wanted this book for a long time. Would like to have the newest edition but it is painfully expensive. This should help with the details.
afx Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Fabricated a radiator shroud and started some chassis paint and assembly. Edited October 28, 2015 by afx
afx Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 Thanks Joe. Mockup with the side pipes in place. The pipes still need a lot or work but we are getting there.

The book arrived and it confirms some details I had discovered about the car which I will try to incorporate into the build. Thanks for the comments Mark, glad you like the build.
Bill J Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Very impressive work on the Cobra. I'll keep watching and learning
afx Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 Thanks Bill. Wasn't happy with the dump pipes so I made set.
