I met Daytona Tim today at NNL East model show in New Jersey and I saw the unassembled 1/8th scale Shelby Cobra. I gotta tell you, this model is big, and is as detailed as any scale model you'll ever see. The fiberglass body, just like most of the cars here, is dead-nuts on and the chassis is built from blueprints of the original big block Cobra chassis. Also, it has aluminum interior and firewall panels that look as good as ERA or Kirkham. Most of the chassis components bolt together and are quite accurate. This model is a labor of love. If you want a large-scale replica of a 427 Street Cobra (or your own replica) for your trophy room, this model is for you. It can also be built as an S/C or full competition model. I also saw a Tremec gearbox that could be fitted. Definitely has the potential to be a museum-quality Cobra model.
