Next step will be wiring .  I’m going to have to take my time with this step . 

[Brudda]

Looking good Ray!!!!

[cobraman]

Thanks Bruce. If it turns out half as good as yours I should be happy. I had some problems with the suspension. The shocks did not seem to want to stay assembled. 

[cobraman]

Well , one end of wiring is done .  They made it as easy as it could possibly be . All numbered . Plug and play style . 

[cobraman]

Working on the truck and routing some wires .

These look like incredible models. But $1600?????

Ya , a bit pricy but it will be the centerpiece of my Cobra collection . I mounted the speaker in the firewall .

Oh yes , on that I believe when you put the spindles on they hold in place. Be careful with the spindle as Mark broke his during assembly.

On the subject of model burnout, I’m there right now. Just assembling 1/8 kits but nothing else. I do not know what happened, but the fire went out. Trying to get the fire back . Riding my e bike and doing other things  right now. I hope your fire comes back as you are a great builder. But I understand, for now other interests look better.

Thanks, I have quit before but this time is different. I get too angry when there is even a small problem with a build. The normal kind of stuff we all deal with. I just don't enjoy it anymore. If the joy is gone it's just time to hang it up. Plus I am out of room. I have begun to start selling off some stuff to reduce what my wife and daughter might have to deal with when I go to the workbench in the sky !
