Made jack hooks as in pic and added a small angle to glue the wire with epoxy. Picture below shows version 1 that was too tall but shows the idea. I made a few attempts at fabricating this hoop on another Cobra build and gave up! 1
happy grumpy Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 What a beautiful build Pierre. A fine tribute to a legend and a fine display of your craftsmanship and commitment to a subject. Superbement réalisé. Bravo! 1
Jonathan Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 Beautiful work, Pierre! What wheels and tires did you use?

I purchased them through Model Builders' Warehouse. Currently out of stock but contact Randy there, he might be able to restock. 1

echo Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Very nice build of a historic car & driver, nice background photographs too. Nice to see a driver in a model, excellent work on the model. 1
MarkJ Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Wow, Pierre, I had no idea you had finished this one. Really excellent build and driver too. Looks just like the ref photos and the paint looks perfect as usual. Now I need to find the 911. I guess I'm getting too old to keep up.

You've been very busy in the NASCAR world while I migrated to road/endurance racing type builds.
MarkJ Posted March 16, 2024 Posted March 16, 2024 Well I know who I'm rooting for in this race. The #1 Cobra.
