cobraman Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 So I used most of the parts in this kit for "other" projects but I have all the parts for the Fiat with the exception of the body shell. I could toss the parts in the parts box but thought it could be a good basis for another model. I am trying to come up with an idea of what to do with it. Anybody have a sugggestion ? And before you say it, no, it won't fit there !
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Dry lakes race car? Early 'slingshot' style dragster with no body? Find a parts-pack T or Bantam body shell and build an altered?
cobraman Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 Good idea. A Bantam body could work. Thanks, I will keep that in mind.
crazyjim Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I have a Fiat and a Bantam body but no way would I even think about trading the bantam. We can talk about a Fiat body though.
cobraman Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Ah, the Bug. I remember seeing that photo somewhere before. Maybe take that idea but make it more a 60's ride than a 50's ride. Is that the fuel tank he is sitting next to ? Good thing he is wearing goggles since there isn't a roll bar. : )
jcbigpaw Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Speaking of bugs. How about a Vw body? Do it like the Fiat. That's b cool
Modlbldr Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Actually I could use those parts if you'd be willing to trade them. I have a shortened 40 Ford sedan body that I want to build but have nothing but the body. That is exactly what I was looking for. What would you want for it????? Later-
moparmagiclives Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 OK Cobraman, time to live up to your name. Take a cobra shell and narrow it to a center seat, with the nose vent allmost to a "O" shape, but the rear just wide enough to cover the rear slicks. Now add your favorite toppings of tunnel ram or supercharger, and stir in your best mix of zoomie headers. ..then vodka. beat you to it
cobraman Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Shane, even with Vodka I don't know if I could do that to a Cobra. : )

Later- Sorry Tom, don't want to trade away. I will make something out of this. I will contact you should I change my mind.
Dr. Cranky Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 How about a variation on this theme? Glenn, this is along the lines of what I was thinking too.
cobraman Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 I think a model with a newer version of "The Bug" may be interesting. Maybe "The Bug 2 " ?????
Jantrix Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Without knowing what kits/parts you have access to, it's hard to give advice. I'm thinking about the Johan Mercedes 500K Coupe body myself.
Junkman Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Without knowing what kits/parts you have access to, it's hard to give advice. +1 Show us what you have. Oh, and Vodka. Edited August 31, 2012 by Junkman
Junkman Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 This would be easy. You could use the Revell snapper body almost unmodified.
