PROGRESS True Street '93 Cobra

[99civichic]

Well, I gone an' dun it. Cut off the sideskirts of the Cobra:



I then removed the sideskirts off the "lowrider" Mustang convertable and attached them to the Cobra:



The result is a '90 GT hatchback with a Cobra insert on the front bumper:





Still needs some work to smooth it out, I'm working on it...slowly...

I also worked on the rollcage, so it now has 8 points, and finished the seatbelts:





Battery delete (It looks much much better now):



Scratchbuilt Igloo intercooler (unfinished):



Turbo setup (I'll probably do another one, this one annoys me):



That's all I have for now.

Very agresive hood, Interior is looking nice. Keep us updated.

I'm actually building this model for a friend to replicate his car. It now has a 92mm Turbo, but when I started building the model it had an 76mm. It's run 9.6's at 150mph in the 1/4. He's also gotten his groceries in it. When I get more of the engine done, I'll post up pics of my 1:24 work vs. his 1:1 work.

Will69Camaro is building the same guy a replica of his '94 TT Supra. What color is the turbo Mustang you have a vid of?

[SupaMan89T]

its blue from canada and he runs mid 8's at 170+ mph and on 10.5 in wide street slicks

I stole the wheels of a Motorworks '69 Camaro kit. They strongly resemble Bogart wheels, minus the slots the 1:1car's wheels have. I'll put up pictures of the wheels with the next progress pics.

No friggin fare, a girl is better at modeling than me!!!

Realy great job so far I can`t wait for an update !

[99civichic]

Made some strides on this build in the past week. Got the paint done, headlights, windows, and parachute...still feels like baby steps, but it's getting closer to being done!

I want to apologize now for the pad photo quality, it's been a rough week. Lots of tests. I got in a hurry and used autofocus, it just doesn't work.







Actual:




The wheels are currently taped into place, in case you couldn't tell!
