The Dragonsnake ran with dash top mounted Sun Tach. Here is my scratch built version.

Thanks Art. I cutout the molded closed grille and replaced it with some hardware store window screen. The grid spacing is very close to the 1:1 grille.

Managed to fit the roll bar by standing it straight up. I suspect they had to do the same on the 1:1 cars.

Looking good. Where did the front wheels come from? Thanks Rob. The wheels and tires are included in the HRM trans-kit.

Shelby Cobra Dragonsnake – CSX2248 “El Cid” Kit: HRM Dragonsnake Trans-kit (cast from my original master) –body, hardtop, engine, wheels and tires Base kit: AMT Cobra Engine: Ford 289 • dual intake – Revell 427 Cobra modified to fit the 289 • valve covers – Revell Shelby GT350 • coil and distributor – Replicas & Miniatures • scratch built headers and side pipes You may be more familiar with the all black version of “El Cid” which competed in ’65. I chose to model the original as delivered ’64 configuration; Princess (Viking) Blue, dark blue “small window” hardtop, dual 4V induction. I chose to install black interior in lieu of the original red for personal reasons. Also chose to install the full rear bumper in lieu of only the bumperettes. Unfortunately decals do not exist for the racing graphics. Hope you like it.
