Well, it seems that you don't see many of these built... now I know why!

...and I think the "Mini-Me" box is a great idea:

This one fought me all the way to the end. The biggest problem is that the chassis frame is weak, badly fitting and flexible, and the majority of things that mount onto it have very small, vague, attachment points. Still, it was a present from my "Secret Santa" on another forum, intended to take me out of my comfort zone. Which it did. Now, where did I leave that Cobra 427 S/C...?

bestest,

Looks like you wrestled it into submission   Nice work!

[Helix]

Cool !

[DumpyDan]

Well done, looks great

[MeatMan]

Wow!  Blast from the past.  Nice work.

[cobraman]

Looks pretty good.

[6bblbird]

You did good on that one. It definitely brings back memories!

I had an original issue when I was a kid and I remember that it fought me!

I saved the engine and the canopy.

The canopy became a hood bubble on a Challenger!

[slusher]

Cool model.

[Speedfreak]

That looks great Matt! I know it fought you, but , thanks for hanging in there, I don't think I've ever seen this kit, much less seen one built, very cool. When was this originally released, do you know?  

[vintagercr]

Very nice build

[afx]

Nice work Matt.  Do you know if this body style every was raced?

[Jonathan]

It's the first I've seen completed, and I think it looks great!

[Matt Bacon]

Thanks, guys!

I don't think this one ever really existed. The kit apart from the body is the same as the Garlits Wynns Jammer and Hemi-sphere kits, and can obviously used with various body styles. To me, this body shape looks a little like the Pink Panther car in terms of styling...

bestest,

M.

Looks Great!  I have one in my stash.  I built its sister  the Digger Cuda.  The body was a pain to keep lined up but it came out ok...almost ended up just as a F.E.D. with no body!  But yours really looks great!

[roush16]

Far out man! It is a pain in the A** for sure. I started it back in 1976 and never finished it until a few years ago, lol. Nice job!

[Dann Tier]

Way to go, Matt!!  -have one in my stash, but heard terrible things about it, and parted it out.

[DeeCee]

Thanks for the heads up, i have one of these in the "to do" pile,

Glad you stuck with it though, it does looks cool mate.

 

[V8 Trucker]

Since you have endurance and skilful proved, because that's the model you managed.

[Greg Pugh]

Cool looking car!
