250 Testa Rossa Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 JC, that looks great. What gauge would you use for the fuel lines? Would any of the flexible line from Detail Master be suitable?
afx Posted March 20, 2017 Author Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) The GT rules required a speedometer be installed as they would be on a production car. Speedometers provide no meaningful information to a race car driver so they were installed well out of the line of sight. Edited March 20, 2017 by afx
mustang1989 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Un............believable!! Good to see you back on this one again JC!
OldNYJim Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 What an incredible build JC - interesting about the speedo being right over on the right side of the dash! Keep us posted - this is too cool!
afx Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 Thank you for your comments gentlemen. Getting very close to paint.
afx Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks Maxx. Applied white primer for the final coat in hopes it will lighten the final shade. Color comes next Princess (Viking) Blue.
Mark IV Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Ah, Viking blue..... Actually, not the same a "princess blue" which was actually "princess Alice blue" originally at AC
afx Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 You most likely have better information than I do Rick but this is from Rinsey Mills’ book AC Cobra-The Truth Behind the Anglo-American Legend:
afx Posted March 30, 2017 Author Posted March 30, 2017 Found a picture of a nice box stock build of the kit for comparison.
Randy D Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Great looking progress JC !!! The pics above of the box stock build are of what kit? Randy
afx Posted March 30, 2017 Author Posted March 30, 2017 Great looking progress JC !!! The pics above of the box stock build are of what kit? Randy Thanks Randy. The box stock build shown is of the base kit I started with. This is the same kit just different box art.
Mark IV Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 I understand what Mr. Mills has printed, but "Princess Alice Blue" is an AC color, and while similar to "Viking Blue", it is not identical.
afx Posted April 3, 2017 Author Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) There are a lot of differing opinions out there regarding Viking vs. Princess Blue. Here are few examples: http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/all-cobra-talk/110452-original-289-colors.html http://www.acownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1810 http://www.the289register.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=1899 I'll just refer to it as "Viking Blue" going forward so as to avoid confusion.

afx Posted April 3, 2017 Author Posted April 3, 2017 Love the color. Thanks Ray, here is what I used.
Brett Barrow Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Thanks Ray, here is what I used. Blasphemy!!! That's a Grand Sport Corvette color!!!
