Dragonhawk1066 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 The Copper paint is on the Cobra. I mixed a few drops of Black into the Chroma Molten Metals Copper for a little bit more depth. I'm liking it! Next will be taping off the body to paint the Black stripes on, although I may shoot a coat of clear on first. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great subject choice and considering the fiddly fuss, I'm glad it didn't end up in the parts box. Looking forward to the race! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonhawk1066 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I got the black stripes painted on Sunday night. The craft paint stuck to the tape just a little bit and it needs a few touch-ups, but it looks pretty good to me otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonhawk1066 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I was considering painting the inner rim and lip chrome, so I did a quick mock-up. I think I like the all black look better as there will be very little chrome on the car anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonhawk1066 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I sprayed the Krylon Short Cuts Clear on the birth year Shelby Cobra earlier today. I'll let it gas out and harden for a few days before wet-sanding, polishing, and waxing. In the meantime I'll get the detail painting done and start assembly of the engine, interior, and chassis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonhawk1066 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I got the engine pretty much finished today. I also detailed the dash using the gauge decals from the Revell Streetburner Cobra kit and brush painted Molotow Chrome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I think all entries should have a radar detector, just sayin'. 😏 I'm not really done, I jumped the start. Couldn't leave the hardtop in the box, hope to finish by Sunday night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Madde some progress.. i am full of plastic since grinding out that grill! And to not go to crazy I will probably just put a net behind it in stead of making the radiator support and all… or we will see if my add acts up on me 🤣 And carbon looks ok to me!

Fat Brian Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I got the yellow on my 81 Mustang. It's been so humid here painting outside has been difficult but it turned out okay. I'm going to give it a few days to cure then start masking for the black lower half. I'm waiting on some front tires to finalize the suspension ride height but I'm pretty certain I've got the wheels picked out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
