Hey guys, I just joined to accomplish some serious reference for my project, which is really the same as everyone else's, just a bit smaller. I'm in the research and planning stages for a scratchbuilt, 1/8th scale Cobra, which I'll construct from a variety of materials. Brass for the chassis, fiberglass for the body, plastic, resin and rubber for most everything else. I have a 1/8th scale Ferrari F40 which is mostly scratchbuilt and loosely based on the Pocher K55 Ferarri kit on a well known automotive forum that you can check out to see where this Cobra build will go, if you like. Here's a link...

but the real topic is this Cobra build I'm gathering material for. My builds tend to be borderline nuts as far as the detail and accuracy goes, so I hope to pick some brains here to get info I wouldn't be able to get anywhere else. I'll say thanks in advance and sorry, too, if I am a pest to anyone, but this build will be a cool addition to my collection and should be interesting for all of you 1:1 builders to watch, as well. Oh, and like my username says, I am a BMW mechanic, I own a foreign car repair business, so I turn wrenches on full size cars, too!
Thanks guys
Garey
