Mystic32cat Posted June 15, 2014 Author Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) Thanks I spent a lot of time on the paint! Edited June 15, 2014 by Mystic32cat
vamach1 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Love the color. I use bare metal foil to cover the emblems then carefully scrape the paint and foil after the paint has dried for a week. Painting the Cobra and 427 Emblems take a lot of patience but it is doable. I built this one 20 years ago so it is a little dusty.
cobraman Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Always a pleasure to see another Cobra ! As most of the fellows here know I kinda, sorta, have a fondness for Cobra's. Keep er' goin' .
Maxicoop Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 awesome looking Cobra with a beautiful paint job !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mystic32cat Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 The color is mettalic blue, I also thought the valve covers were tall but there was nothing I could to change the height.
vamach1 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 One of the 427 kits has wire wheels but of course hardly anyone with a real 427 Cobra would drive on the street with them as they could not handle the torque. You typically only see them on a stock 260 or 289 Cobra. Some black wash in the wheels would bring out the spokes.
Mystic32cat Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 Who did you get your cobra from like brand wise
DynoMight Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 It's probably the Monogram Dream Rides Shelby Cobra 427 S/C.. Google is my friend...
Mystic32cat Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 yes,it is the monogram shelby cobra 427 S/C
Speedfreak Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 David, I like the car, but , I don't see a steering wheel?
Mystic32cat Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 No there isn't a steering wheel it used to be on there when i built it but it looked like it was way to big so I left it off
vamach1 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) The first driverless Cobra? The wheel can look big compared to the car because the car is small except next to a Mini Cooper. Does it take some muscle to drive the car at low speed - yes. Could I swap the wheel for a smaller one - yes. Do I like mine just the way it is - yes? Do I like the Daytona Coupe parked in front of mine? I'd put some sort of steering wheel on it from some kind of Ford but that's me. Edited June 21, 2014 by vamach1
MeatMan Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Nice build, very good paint work. I'm working on that kit now and swapping out the wheels isn't easy, as the ones I have required surgery on the wheel stubs and the wheel hubs. Sometimes simple is best.
