1/64 Shelby Cobra

[tatocorvette]

Hello,

   Not sure if many of you know, I'm also into Hot Wheels.  A long time ago, early 2000s, I got this beaten up Hot Wheels Shelby Cobra with a broken windshield. It was pretty banged up. I took it apart and stripped the paint it had left, and then it sat in a box for over a decade. Then around 2014 I found it along with the wheels I planned to use back then. So after over a decade of neglect, I took it out and did a rather quick job on it just for fun. Nothing fancy. No modifications except for the scratchbuilt windshield and replacement wheels.
  So I can say I've done a Shelby Cobra 


















Thanks,
Ismael

Ismael,
You really nailed it for sure.

Lets see, you're a outstanding model car builder, buy, fix, & tune up old Pentax SLRs, convert diecasts into proper replicas, and now now we just found out you're into Hot Wheels. So are there any other surprises we haven't learned about as yet?

Let's see: car guy, Coffee nut lunatic guy, Shade tree mechanic, cook, photographer, make shift electrician and plumber (hate plumbing), light carpentry, numismatics, oh yeah, that pesky job of mine that pays the bills (Engineering manager), Boy Scout leader and my favorite, wife and kids bully

Thanks,
Ismael

Very nice. Hot Wheels usually have nice castings, but lousy/dumb paint schemes. You've definately made this one into a stunner.
