Dr. Cranky Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Keep it going, Wayne, it's looking real fine.
Speedster Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 That looks right! Great job, I will be watching.
1320wayne Posted August 26, 2012 Author Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Just a bit more. More sanding done on the body with a first coat of primer to see where I am at with the bodywork. I pulled a windscreen from the parts box to see how it would fit. And a shot of where I am at with the chassis construction. Like I said before, the chassis will be a parts box build all in it's own with all of the different parts that I'm combining together. Edited August 26, 2012 by 1320wayne
dimebolt Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Looks even more awesome every time I see it. Corey
futurattraction Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Very, very nice, Wayne. The windscreen looks like it was designed for it!
1320wayne Posted August 27, 2012 Author Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks for all of the comments guys. A little more done today. Got a good bit more completed on the chassis. Not much in the way of reference to find for roadster style chassis so I'm pretty much winging it. I've got it to the point that the driver rollcage hoop is attached and at the perfect height. A few more cross braces to add and the chassis will be ready for some paint. I also added some more filler to fix any small defects in the bodywork. I also decided on using the engine setup from the Revell Jukebox Ford kit. I've got it mocked up to see how it will fit. When it's complete it will be topped off with a single four barrel carb. Moving right along.
Mooneyzs Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Wayne... this is looking great man. That windscreen looks like a perfect fit. And that chassis is taking great shape
Mister Twister Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 This build is exciting Wayne........What are you planning for a paint scheme or have you decided yet?
vintagedragfan Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 looking sweet Wayne, this will be a one of a kind!
mikey Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 I like the detail on the firewall.Is that a competition resins hood scoop.
1320wayne Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 This build is exciting Wayne........What are you planning for a paint scheme or have you decided yet? Thanks Daryl. I haven't pinned down the paint scheme yet. I have a few ideas but nothing solid yet.
1320wayne Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 Here's some more done. The trunk has been opened and will be finished at a later time. More framerails added throughout. I also added the dash panel from the Cobra kit and a sheet styrene panel behind the dash.
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I've never seen a Cobra done in this style before. Very nice work.
eviltwincustoms Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Wayne, I have to say this one has been coming along nicely. I like how you have worked in the chassis, looks like it was meant for the car! Can't wait to see what you have planned for the paint scheme.
1320wayne Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 Another mockup with a few added small changes. The front suspension has been setup with the right ride height. I also decided to go with a pair of Comp. resins wrinkle wall slicks. The wheels are Convos Pros painted black. I am also still racking my brain as to which way to go with the paint scheme.
crazyjim Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Wild looking build, Wayne. I have a paint suggestion for you - make it SHINY :) !
tyrone Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Looking great Wayne I cant wait to see what you do for color...
