Re: 1/8 Scale Scratchbuilt 427 AC Cobra

Hi bmwmech1,

Mmmm....looking good. A bit of a change from the F40, but you've got to enjoy what you're doing if you're doing it for a long time! 'Sculpture' is right - there's something great about seeing a bunch of tubes come together to make a chassis like this. As much as I love modern F1 cars, they don't really excite me as a potential modelling project - give me an old-fashioned spaceframe any day! I've got a book on the Cobra somewhere - I'll have to dig it out to follow what you're doing on this one. Didn't some of these have transverse leaf springs at the front, or was that on the 289's?

Cheers!
