Ben Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I am in search of a tiny chrome or stainless Cobra that goes in the center of the grill for my Monroe Handler Cobra project. I have seen the detailed Cobra's on the "late model Mustang" fret but what I'm looking for is just a "blank" chrome Cobra. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!
Ben Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 i thought the Revell '99 Cobra kit came with a plated Cobra snake for the grille that was smooth? i think there was a decal on the decal sheet to add the detail to that piece. Really? I'll go check!
VW Dave Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I was thinking the Revell '07 GT500, the new SuperSnake or the Revellogram '69 Shelby might have nice grille emblems molded-in...you could either foil-cast a copy of the emblem from one of those, or just hack a grille apart to get what you're after.
Ben Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 Turns out I don't have the 99. I have the 93. It has a separate grill ornament but it's the horse.
Ben Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 Hmmm, I may just have to get the late model Mustang fret and foil over one of the emblems. I was just hoping someone may have seen a blank one in photo etch. I do appreciate both of your help though!
whale392 Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Model Car Garage did a photoetch fret for the late model Mustangs. It has the 'Running Horse' and the Cobra 'Coiled Snake' emblems in the fret. The photoetch number is MCG-2153 if you feel like trying to locate it (I bought mine about 10 years ago).
VW Dave Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I was just hoping someone may have seen a blank one in photo etch. By your original post, it sounded like you wanted a chrome one, not PE...if a chrome kit one will work, I can send you one from my '07 GT500 kit. Email me if I can help.

Email me if I can help. Hey Dave, I sent you a PM yesterday about the snake but the forum has been acting up. Just wondering if it made it to you?
VW Dave Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Mailed the snake emblem out a week or so ago to Ben.....no word yet if it arrived.
