Thanks guys. I have talked to Brudda about these kits but not the chrome. Not sure if I could get a replacement that they would be any better. Not sure what I will find when I see more of the chrome. I looks like maybe these parts were allowed to move in the package and maybe that is where the wear came from ????   

Hello Ray, I’ll talk to Mark when he gets back from his vacation. Try to get you a new set of pipes.

Thank you !  I managed to get the engine wired .  Slow going on this on . Too much family stuff right now .

Family matters always take precedence in our lives.

Any progress is good. Enjoy the bench time when you get it.

Managed to get some of the frame finished . Cobra model is a 1/24 Revell .

VERY COOL!

[cobraman]

Progress !!   Finished the second tire . Also the floor panels were installed . The big news is the engine has been installed !! 

[FLHCAHZ]

Looks fast already!

[cobraman]

And heavy !

Looking good.

[cobraman]

Thank you Bob. 

[cobraman]

Rear suspension just about done and now all 4 tires are mounted .

Looking good Ray !

I like how you're showing us size difference with your excellent collection of Cobras...keep it up??

[cobraman]

Thank you Bruce. 

[bobthehobbyguy]

You're making a lot of progress. Keep up the good work. 

[cobraman]

Thank you Bob !

Really like to see one of these kits covered, as to know for the future if I want one. Do they make a GT 40?

[cobraman]

No GT 40 that I know of. Maybe some day ??

Loving your build Ray! Is it living up to your expectations? Make sure and include your Cougar II sometime in the comparison shots - - - always loved that one  

[cobraman]

Thank you very much. I have not touched this in awhile as more pressing things have happened. I hope to get back on it soon. As far a expectations go.....  I think as much as I love Cobras this kit is overpriced . Just my opinion you understand, others may disagree.

Yes they do. DeAgostini.

[jaftygas]

Now I want one! 

[bobthehobbyguy]

Looking good. Nice progress.

[cobraman]

As able to get the dash done . 

[cobraman]

Got some time to work on the model again . This time some work on the interior . Also some wiring has been done . 

[cobraman]

Had an hour or so to work on the Cobra . Batteries and cables installed and one seat built .   Not very happy with the seat but not blaming the kit . Perhaps I will do better when i build the other one .
