I used metal wire from the hardware store. It measures 0.75 mm diameter and easy to bend. 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!

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!

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

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.

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.

Thanks Mark, no worries that you missed it. You've been very busy in the NASCAR world while I migrated to road/endurance racing type builds.

Well I know who I'm rooting for in this race. The #1 Cobra.
