Been a while on an update with this one, it's at the painters.
First round of primer, looking good.

I don't know a lot about Sunbursts (apart from that they look good) ..... but I'm not sure they made a 9½" wide wheel that would suit a 427 Competition Cobra

Cheers,
Glen

Craig,

What did you use to attach the vent brackets to the body with? Also, how much body overhang do you have over the vent? I'm using FinishLine's vent and am trying to determine the size for the body cut-out.

Painted side vent louvers are the correct way to go. Most all replicas leave them bare and owners don’t take the time to prep and paint. They can be a PITA to do right (took me two tries to get mine acceptable). Nice work!

Something to be loud of Craig! Have a Merry Christmas. Are you making one for me to go under the tree? No, don't tell me, let it be a surprise...
