Thanks Ed, the build has been well received here, so it's a pleasure to share it with everyone. And what better critics than a bunch of Cobra owners, right? Gotta make sure it's right... Anyways, the body is still up in the air. I had originally thought and planned to shape a buck from EPS foam and lay 'glass over it for the body, but I am now going to pursue opening a conversation with the Kirkhams to see if they can do a scale CNC wood buck for me to hand hammer a metal skin over. (If Tom or David reads this, feel free to PM me...) That would open the door to a truly accurate model, but I,m not sure about TIG'ing aluminum that's thin enough to be correct in scale, so it may have to be done in copper. (Again, if the Kirkhams read this, they would have a better insight into the possibility of using aluminum.) It is, as you've said, a bit down the line, but I'm still thinking about it!
Thanks for watching,
Garey
