Coral Snake progress thread

This kit started as the Baldwin Motion Cobra. The color is Gunmetal, flocked/ flat black interior, stock wheels modified to fit Pegasus deep dish rims, two four barrel carbs. lifted from a prostock fire bird, and minor engine detail. About 75% complete. I still have to polish the body, add racing stripes, clear coat, polish, and complete interior. If you own GT3 on the PS2, you can see where I got the ideal to build this color Cobra. Comments please.

Beauty! The engine looks very nice! :naughty:

The carbs look great! Where did you get them? or are they modified stock carbs? Can't wait to see this finished!

Great looking project. I've always liked the shape and style of the Cobra and look forward to seeing this one finished.

Thanks. The carbs are from a prostock firebird kit. I should have this kit finished by next week.

Boy, I can't wait to see this.
That is looking awesome.

Thats looking great man. Keep us posted on how that build goes. I guess I'm not the only crazy one that rips off cars from games. lol

Inspiration comes from all places. I'm curious to see this one completed.

Also, What tires did you use on the sleeved wheels?

The tires came with the wheels.
Here's the completed interior and crappy exhaust (I'll fix that :evillol: )

All that is left is to carefully mask and apply the stripes, since this kit didn't come with them.

Simply beautiful!!!!! I have to see this one in person! (eventually!)

awesome job so far. :D

This is gonna be sweet!

Here's the Cobra, taped off ready for paint. The stripes will make or break the model.

Looks real good. BTW, I don't have GT3, what colour are the stripes?

It's maroon. It turned out good, I just need to clean up the lines and clear coat it.

Everything is looking good. Post some pics of the body once you have it all done. I want to see how well the stripes came out.

As requested. Polished, no clear coat. :smokin: All I have to do is wait for the chrome parts to dry.
