Saved a little Cobra

[realgone58]

Old AMT kit that I bought off the Bay. Someone did a really decent build. I like it, so I left most of it alone. I did add the tires and wheels, and removed the bumpers for a "light drag" look. Cleaned up pretty good

[Phildaupho]

I like it. Round 2 might actually sell a few of the re-issues.

Nice looking Cobra. Sure wish I knew what color of paint that was. I assume you bought it already painted?

Later-

[Draggon]

Wow, thats neat! Nice to see a Cobra thats not all "427" !

[Silver Foxx]

A great looking build, nice to see a slender Cobra, a change from all the fat 427's ( they look nice as well).

[Chuck Most]

That turned out just beautiful. Sometimes you get so used to the 427s you forget how good the small block cars looked.

Nice. Good choice on the wheels. Always happy to see another Cobra.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Nice save / rework. Like the wheel / tire choice.

[slusher]

Nice little model, nice touch on the wheels..

[tubbs]

nice save. unusual color for that car, i like it!

[realgone58]

I love the color too, wish I knew what it was. That's part of what persuaded me to buy it. I'm not a fan of the "fat" Cobras.

[Gluhead]

I can see why you didn't do much to it! We see too few of these non-steroid Cobras.

me and cobra man always know how to sniff out a nice cobra i like it but why only 2 whitewall tires?

Front ones are skinnies, the back ones are old pie crust slicks.

Sweet. One of my all-time favorite kits.

....the more I look at this, the more I like it. Reminds me of the time people actually drove these things and took them to the drags on weekends. Man, it was a better world then. (Warning: old geezer opinion).

[sportandmiah]

Like!

I agree 100 %.

Thanks everyone for all the comments. Now I need to set this on a trailer, hook it to a Cadillac..............like the old song Hey Little Cobra, by the Ripchords. It WAS a better time then, but we wouldn't have the internet for this forum :-(
