Re: 427 Cobra

I made a custom dash, the gauge trim rings are made from thin wire.
But I still have to add the bolt heads to the steering wheel

Beautiful - the gages are perfect. Do the gauge needles move?

Just giving you the push to take detail to the next level.

That dash looks great as well as the paint on the body.

Re: 427 Cobra

The ignition key is a really nifty idea - I may use it for my model too...

Re: 427 Cobra

Wow, this is looking great. It's the little things that make it so cool. The key, the rings around the guages and that steering wheel. Is that like a wood BMF or did you paint it? Is the color going to stay solid or is there going to be a stripe? It looks great the way it is, excellent job painting.

I like it, though stock or Halibraid(sp) wheels suit this car IMO.

It looks great James!
I like the rivets on the sides for the cover.

I have this kit sitting in the 'to do' pile.....this thread may help get me motivated? Can't wait to see more.
