Brianl Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Iconic Cobra competitor! Built up from a resin slot car shell. Bit ruff, particularly the glass but looks good on the shelf. Kerbside only. Brian 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Looks great. One of my favorite vintage race cars...based on looks alone. EDIT: It's kindof a shame the Cheetah never got the development that could have made it a world-beater. Its frame wasn't stiff enough, the suspension geometry needed fine tuning, and the cockpit heat issue needed to be addressed with more effective insulation...all relatively easy to deal with effectively..

TECHMAN Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 😊😊😊 I'm with you Bill, if it had gotten the "backing" that Shelby and Ford provided the Cobra, no telling how the racing history would have gone.... NICE JOB!!!! DJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Looks good: These mean machines must have been really a handful - similar to a rodeo cowboy riding a bull: sitting almost on the drive axle while trying to handle the power.
