It's all good. What did you use for primer?. It looks really smooth. How is the full HRM FIA Cobra kit (besides being really pricey)? I'd love to build a FIA Cobra, but don't know if I have the skills to convert and/or kitbash one.

Thanks Rob. Primer is Dupli-Color.
I don't own HRM's FIA Cobra kit but it is excellent from what I have seen.

It's tempting. Maybe if I get a tax refund this year.

I prefer to build up the HRM Webers before I paint them.

HRM provides resin pins on the bottom of the Webers but I feel more confident with brass rod.

Another great looking engine! What size tubing did you use on the carbs?
