I would definetly , at this point in your build rank you up there with the fellow that built the scale Ferrari that has been shown on here as well as Youtube.Will you have a functioning scale motor ? Are you planning on an Aluminum body or Glass? Will this be your only Cobra build or will you have others in the future For Sale? If you did , i would definetly put your build in my cobra collection as thats the only casting i have collected for the past 12 years...
Again , Thank-you for sharing your build.... I cant wait for the next installment to be shown.

Thank you for your compliments, Frank! I am flattered by your comparisons to the Ferrari that we've all admired... That gentleman spent something like 20 years building that masterpiece, I hope this build doesn't take that long! I have plans to build a 289 version, a GT40, a McLaren MK8 and possibly a "Birdcage" Masserati after this one is complete and I was given a good idea from a forum member on the Kirkham forum of getting a hold of Tom or David and seeing if they would machine a billet body... I wasn't for that idea, but a CNC milled, 1/8th scale, wooden body buck would be perfect. Then duplicating another one of these would be less time consuming. We'll see if I can make that happen. As for this one, although the suspension and steering will be functional, I have no intention of building a functional engine. That Ferrari is 1/4 scale IIRC, which lends itself to a functional engine, just due to shear size. Mine is more of a static display piece, rather than a functional display piece. Okay, gotta get back to building... starting on the rear suspension tubing tonight! Thanks for watching...
