NYNS Franky Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) It has been some time since my last completed build (Sept 2014). I found this in my parents attic when I was moving to Canada a few years ago. Saved for a time when my skills could produce something acceptable. The time was right! Modifications: 1) rear bumper looked as if it was a GT bumper, so it was reshaped. 2) GT intake was shaped to resemble the Cobra intake. 3) Fan belt had only 1 accesory (A/C), P/Steering would have been in that position so a/c comp went and a modified p/s went in. 4) Coil springs made from bead wire 5) Embroadary thread used to make a wire harness. 6) Wheels thinned down to fit tires. 7) Flocked the interior, clear plastic over the instruments. Painted Ford Teal from Scalefinishes. Happy with the way it turned out. Way to much time on the bench though. Will try to complete my next one alot quicker. On to the pic's,enjoy!

NYNS Franky Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Thank you Tom! Here are a few during the build.
krazyglu Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Very well built factory fresh ride you have there, the paint looks like glass its so smooth.
atomicholiday Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Really cool. I used to want a 1:1 version of this pretty bad when they were new.
hgbben Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Outstanding job on this Frank. I have the same kit in the stash and have the same paint from Scalefinishes to use. It is nice to see exactly how well that color looks when applied.
Quick GMC Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 This is funny. I JUST bought the Ford Teal Metallic from Scale Finishes last week specifically for my 93 Cobra. I'm happy to see that it looks exactly like I hoped it would. Excellent job.
665@213 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 That looks great Frank!!! Love me a '93 Cobra, especially a teal one!
MsDano85gt Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 very cool i'd like to make a "cobra" in 1:25 scale its on the long to do list
LokisTyro Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 You're well past acceptable. Very nice workmanship.
cobramike Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Nicely done! great paint job! The wiring,,, that is a great idea! The spark plug wires, are they from a aftermarket kit? Gotta love the Cobra's! I have a 98 real 1;1...love that car, can't wait for the weather to warm so I can take it out of the garage! only has 46k on the odometer! Like new car!
NYNS Franky Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Thank you all for the positive comments! The spark plug wires are from MCG, and I drilled through the kit supplied dist. I liked the look of the factory rubber cover. It was alot easier drilling one large hole compaired to 9 small ones aswell! Cheers!
Maindrian Pace Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 As the owner of a 1:1, I think yours is the nicest built example of this kit I've seen. Excellent job. -MJS
Drake69 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I would never worry about "bench time". It obviously spent the right amount of time being built to look as awesome as this. And again, another great color choice for all of these recent models I've been seeing lately. I need to step up my game some more. Beautiful work!
