Dr. Cranky Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Thank you, Ira . . . this next one is going to have some decal work on it too, but I don't know exactly what yet.
Ryan S. Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Blue paint looks great Doc! You've got another great one going here.
LoneWolf15 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Tsk. Tsk ! You are like a little kid at Christmas , you just can't wait , can you ? Lmao ! I knew I was going to see this painted before the weather broke . Very pretty , love the color combo , smooth as silk too ! Decals with silver in them ? Maybe some light blue too ? I know a guy that might have some if you need a few ! Lol !
crazyjim Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 You're are so right, doc. I love the SHINY :) . Nice painting.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Thanks, everyone. Well, Donn, tell "your friend" to send some of those decals down. I'd love to use them on this build!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 All right, folks, got up early this morning to get some of this sanding and buffing out of the way. Here are the results, although I sill have to tweak the engine and the radiator. The body is done, and waiting for decals (hint, hint, Donn! ) You can see some of the bling and some of the shine in this one:
Dr. Cranky Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Here's a little bit of fun, the body and the chassis as one: Last two for the shine!
Viperfanboy Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) I love both Cobras, I currently have one WIP, I'm just waiting to buy an airbrush booth to paint the body. Edited February 28, 2012 by Viperfanboy
Dr. Cranky Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Robert, these are great kits . . . you will fall in love the way I have. Keep it going, and share the eye candy.

Dr. Cranky Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Thanks Randy and Matt. Yes, they are lots of fun. I'm working on the interior details now. Finished the chassis and the engine. Next up is all the chrome bits for the body.
Kustom Rodder Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 That looks great very nice work on the stripe Doc the blue is sweeet now you need a red one to add to the nest.
LoneWolf15 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 That looks great very nice work on the stripe Doc the blue is sweeet now you need a red one to add to the nest. Umm Hmmm ! Stop Light Red Metallic with gold and orange lettering ! Yup ! I'm getting' real good at spending your money , eh , Virgil ?
Kustom Rodder Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Thats the red i was thinking of Donn and your idea with the gold and orange lettering excellent choice so what do you think Doc?
Dr. Cranky Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Umm Hmmm ! Stop Light Red Metallic with gold and orange lettering ! Yup ! I'm getting' real good at spending your money , eh , Virgil ? Well, funny you should say that, I just went ahead and ordered 4 more of those Cobra Kits! I would not mind spending the rest of the year building Cobras!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Now I know for a fact tonight I will dream with this:
LoneWolf15 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 You do have to promise one thing though ! One of them has to be dressed out with a set of Cragar 5 spokes . Just something about those mags that makes The Old Man's heart go pitter patter ! Lol !
Dr. Cranky Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 I'll have to look through my wheels and rims parts box.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 All right, I'm making a bit of progress tonight, but will have to stop to wait on some "special" decals a friend is sending. Here are some more pics . . . I'll hold off on the rest of the trim until the decals arrive . . . then it should a few hours of work and this one will be done.
Viperfanboy Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Robert, these are great kits . . . you will fall in love the way I have. Keep it going, and share the eye candy. I just airbrushed my Cobra tonight, I will upload some pictures tomorrow.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 Wonderful, Robert. Can't wait to see it.
