Yo Jutt Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi all hope everyone had very happy holidays. I just picked up this kit at the hobby shop today. I was googling for pictures but all I seem to find are body pics. Was wondering if any of you would have decent reference pics. Thanks!!

1930fordpickup Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Try to search for a Cobra Club. they will have better pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) I'm no Cobra expert but I think they are awesome cars. Lookin' forward to the build. These are more photography based and are of a replica but are shots I would use in a build. Refine your search criteria to 427 AC Cobra build to get more shots.

Yo Jutt Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Oh boy ! Another Cobra. I'll be watching. Lol I'm just gonna go out on a limb and assume you build a lot of cobras... Where can I order a good PE detail kit? And nice wheels other than wire spokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You may be able to find some on ebay. I believe Studio makes a nice PE set. There was also some in one of the Fujumi Cobra kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmcguire Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You can also search places like Factory Five...it's a replica but I imagine it would give you some pretty good reference shots of the frame, suspension, etc. You could also Google for a Cobra restoration or kit car build-up.

Russell C Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 ..... See if this helps you out in getting you started Andy: http://cobracountry.com/images-B4afters/CobraPhotos-DunRite.html Always had a weak spot for 427 Cobras, and one of these days I need to get on with my V12 berlinetta project. Slightly annoying thing about all my various projects is how my photo & web link references come from so many scattered places. The link above is fabulous for having so much in one spot!

MeatMan Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hey Justin, a couple of things to know about this kit. I built it but have to do some cleanup because I ran into issues with installing the windshield. It's not the easiest thing to install, especially once you've painted the body. If I had it to do all over again I'd install some locating pins on it. You might have other ideas but test fit it before painting the body. And those little vent windows, well have fun with those. Also, the engine is too tall once it's installed in the car and causes the hood to stick open a tad. There's a post out there from others who've had the same problem. So if you go with an alternative carb setup keep that in mind. All in all it's a nice kit and the end results can be impressive. Have fun.

Yo Jutt Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Dennis, thank you for the heads up!! That's good to know before I get into it. I will definitely look into what I can do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
