cobraman Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Got a little more done on this build. I am out of plug wire so no engine wiring on this one. Still lots to do but it is coming along. Coments good or bad are welcome as always. Thanks for looking.

Chuck Most Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Nice! Only thing I'd have done differently would have been to cut out the entire rooftop. Not saying I don't like the way you did yours, just putting it out there.
slusher Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Cobraman, the radiator shell does look good body color. Things like that can happen when your enjoying a build. l would leave it to. is that the kit engine from the kit? l have not opened mine yet. Excellent progress and its looking great...
cobraman Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Yes Carl, that is the kit engine. The only thing I changed was instead of using the chrome air cleaners I cut some aluminum tube for the top of the carbs. Chuck.... I thought about cutting the hole roof open but I thought that would be what most guys would do and I thought this way might be a little different and I like different. Bryan my friend I have no doubt that some day you will finish a build. : ) Lets see, I know you have a Cobra almost done and you have the Olds and also the newest one with the Irish theme. How many more do you have in your stash that are started ?
mrm Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 I like the build, just not sure about the colors. I mean the body/frame combo is great, but the blue decals kind of don't match.
cobraman Posted October 24, 2012 Author Posted October 24, 2012 Point taken and I can't say I disagree, I will say in my own defence that I am partially color blind and sometimes I don't see colors the way they really are. I guess I may have to consult with my wife next time to make sure the colors go together. : )
cobraman Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 Hello fellow modelers. This one is just about done. Not too unhappy with this one but it ain't no contest winner. Still needs the headlights and the exhaust pipes. The pipes are chrome but I thing I will strip them and paint them black so they stand out a little bit better.
cobraman Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 Car is done ! I think it turned out ok. More photos will be in the "Under Glass" section if interested.
