Superb job Bruce!  One of the best build of a Shelby Cobra I ever seen!  You can be proud of it sir!

Beautiful Cobra. Good work on opening the doors and trunk. Now all you need is a Ferrari Daytona to display alongside.

I am in search of a decent Daytona kit. Thanks for commenting.

Really only a few choices for a Daytona Coupe.  Spend $200 or more.  You cannot go wrong with the Historic Racing Miniatures one unless you settle for an engineless Gunze Sanyo if you can find one for sale and get in a bidding war.

Oops.  Well that changes my answer. ?

Thought I saw a Cobra with a connection to Gumball Rally somewhere, very nice tribute!  You had to make the Cibie light covers!  Nice job on this.

BTW: I have the Fujimi Daytona Spyder, just for the wire wheels and Pirelli tires on the 275 NART, built the same kit decades ago.  If you wanted to use other aftermarket wheels/tires, and want it, let me know.

Thanks for checking in Jim

Very well done Cobra. Looks tremendous. I especially appreciate that you installed inner fender liners which are sorely lacking in an otherwise great kit.

Just saw this film for the first time, while building on my cannonball build! Great representation of a beautiful car!
