My scaled Cobra is in the parts gathering stage still.

It has acquired a name though, from the sound of thunder from the engine: BRUTUS

I now have almost all the parts and can start designing the frame as soon as I finish the RV rebuild.
I'm building cabinets now and close to the end.

I have decided to build a copy of CSX2196, the "Flip Top" car that is coming up for auction January 22, 2010 at RM auctions:

I have been leaning towards the 289 body style for some time but the pictures of the Flip Top decided it for me.
The low wind screen, both ends opening up and even the fold down door make it unique.
For ease of design I have decided on a simple 90% scale instead of 8/9ths.

Do you still have the cut patterns for the body sections (mold, or buck) frames for your car? May I purchase a set?
