Hey everyone, huge qualifier, this build log is for a 3d model. If it is felt that this is inappropriate, I will quickly pull it. As are you, I am a huge cobra fan and there will be real cobra build in my future, but until that time, this will be as close as I get
.
There are plenty of forums devoted to digital models, but no place else could I find a fraction of the knowledge that you guys have for building a cobra.
I should really be calling this cobra inspired, not a true recreation. Without real blueprints and or a vehicle in front of me, I am basing this off of images readily available on the net (also spending time following the Kirkham skunkworks build as well as FastPatrick's scratch build). The further along I get, the more I see places where I am off. I would love and appreciate all feedback, though at this stage I can not easily make adjustments to the body. With all that I have learned in the process, I do plan on having another go at this with a more critical eye towards accuracy.
Body, hood, doors, trunk lid and base interior are getting wrapped up. Will plan on adding in the frame to the hood and trunk, and am looking for some good reference for what the inside of the original cobras doors looked like. Any help in these area would be greatly appreciated.
here are a few screen shots: (if anyone wants more detailed shots, let me know)
