cobraman Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Starting this kit I got as part of my Fathers Day gifts . Decided to do the custom version on the side panel. Molding in the front and rear parts .
Claude Thibodeau Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Hi! Iconic design. Do you intend to chop the top, ever so lightly? CT
cobraman Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 Thanks guys . No , I won’t be chopping the top . My past attempts at that have not been pretty . As Clint says “ a man has to know his limitations “ .
Rider Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Dig these cars. Looking forward to following where you take this build.
cobraman Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 Just a quick mock up . Going to add another color and clear it . Optional engine parts do not fit well and must be modified . But there is always the possibility it could be me .
cobraman Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 Thank you ! I add the second color today . I will clear it tomorrow .
Rider Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Looking good Ray. Some gold lace and a black edge fade might look good on that green. Just a passing thought. ?
cobraman Posted June 21, 2019 Author Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks guys ! Car is done and pics will be under glass soon .

You and I might hold both ends of the record for building speed on this kit. You got yours done in four days (!), while I'm just about to finish up one I started over 50 years ago.
cobraman Posted June 21, 2019 Author Posted June 21, 2019 Well this is a simple kit and I m a simple builder. Except for using some BMF it's all right from the box.

cobraman Posted June 21, 2019 Author Posted June 21, 2019 I think my color choices were not the best. I am partly color blind and it looked good to me when I did it but not sure now. I used BMF or it would have taken be only 3 days !
cobraman Posted June 22, 2019 Author Posted June 22, 2019 It is done Terry. It is posted in the Under Glass section.
