Cobra hot rod

[cobraman]

Although I pretty much stopped building not too long ago I still want to build one of my favorite cars once in awhile . I am always trying to think of different things and ways to build a Cobra to add to my collection . Some ideas not too bad and there are ones like this . Still in the planning stage . So here then is the start of what I am calling a Cobra hot rod . 

[El Caballo]

Neat, I see that with lots of metalflake colors.

IDefinitely like it. Very different concept. Looking forward to more.

Very cool. With the body mods, the shape is (appropriately) a bit reminiscent of a Viper. 

[Plashdaddy]

That’s a cool looking cobra, I like it.

[El Caballo]

Nothing as wild as what you are building, but some ideas.

[b-body fan]

Cool! Kind of. Barretesque with some recognizable original lines. Great project!

[Ace-Garageguy]

Very creative, very different. I like it.   

[cobraman]

Thanks guys. Nothing looks better than a stock Cobra to me but I do like to build one that is different even if a tad stupid for my collection.

[GerN]

Great start!!!  Outrageous originality!  Hope you can blend in that roof - looks like a challenge to me.  Show us the chassis, please.  BTW, I have some pretty "stupid" Cobras going myself.

Complete chassis was taken from the AMT Fruit Wagon kit.

That's thinking out of the box

Looking good! I like the uniqueness in this build. What color do you think you'll paint it?

[geewhiz]

Now this Cobra is just krazy kool, Cobraman!!!  Looking forward to the next update!!!  ????????

[cobraman]

Car is being painted blue.

[geemoney]

quit building?

why, may I ask?

[crazyjim]

Hope it'll be SHINY blue, Ray.

[Jantrix]

I dig this. Looking forward to more.

Hard to say but I feel mostly because I started getting bored and not many kits excited me any more. The old Cobra racing team kit has just been re released and you can bet I will get two of them. One for my collection of un built kits and I will build one. I will still throw a Cobra together now and then. This is about the fourth time I quit so who knows ??

I apologize and will attempt to delete this post if you weren't serious, but, here goes:

From left, I call them Cobra Daytonish, wide Cobra, Cobra Bread Van and Cobra Crate.  Couldn't resist including helper cat photo.  Enjoy!

[cobraman]

Oh boy !  A couple new ideas for me ! I may borrow ( steal ) one or two of those ideas from you.

...Cobra Bread Van .....

Put in a thumbs up vote on this variant for me, but in my twisted mind, I see it heading in the direction of being a straight axle gasser, but with some kind of front end treatment matching the back, à la Revell's old '53 Chevy panel.

It will be good to watch the progress on this build.

(GerN, that cat is awesome. I've got two like that. Except one is banned from my model room, after he pee'd on the wall.)
