A few shots of my Cobra replica I built in the 80's.

350ci chevy small block, edelbrock manifold, holly 4 barrel carb, Jaguar suspension front/rear.

The ultimate kit build, took me 18mths and too much money!

Really nice job John.

Can't wait to see the body fitted to the chassis, with the sidwinder pipes.

What did you us for the topcoat/clear, that high gloss finish looks superb?

Gregg

 

[John Huggins]

Thanks Gregg, it was brush painted with Metallic Blue then sprayed with car lacqure, then used 3M finnishing polish.

Hope this helps.

John.

 

[John Huggins]

I did spray it with Metallic Blue-40 (FORD) but it was to light so i used Tam X13.
