Default Mando's Classic Revival

Hi All,

Here's a few pics of Mando's Cobra. It's coming together very nicely and should be a great looking car when it's done.

Cobra 1
Cobra 2
Cobra 3
Cobra 4
Cobra 5
Cobra 6
Cobra 7
Cobra 8

I wish I could keep my shed that tidy.

Cheers

Is that a box of crownies I spy on the shelves in the first pic?

Anyone with a shed that tidy is one sick puppy.

Looks great Mondo.....given it's gonna have a ford in it....it should be one great ride.

Well done Mando its looking really great. Love that glue gelcoat too, did Ian used to deliver them in your choice of color could have held off my paint job for 12 months. Looking forward to more pic's and progress. Congrat's

The colored gel coat is an option Ian still offers now, I was advised bt Ian against it as it chips off very easy.

I agree your car sure is looking good there Mando, wants me to keep going even faster.

Regarding the Crownies on the shelf, I think they would look beter in a fridge ready to go.

Thanks to Aussie Mike for posting my pictures.
Boxhead is right, it is something Ian still does. I chose the colour because I knew it would be some time before my car got painted and wanted to see it a similar colour to what I plan on painting it. I contacted a couple of fibreglass guys who told me the coloured gelcoat made no difference to the integrity of the shell so I went for it.
Regards.

Exclamation Computer techs

Mando

Sure looks good. I wish I could have had my body in a coloured Gel Coat. Then again, I may not have been as motivated to get it painted.

I saw a Cobra in the States in black Gel coat that had vinyl stripes and it looked good. I took a few looks at it before I realised it was Gel coat and un painted stripes.

Mando - Mikes good like that, I asked him and Jason ( King I ) to put my photos on the gallery. Great Techs!!



Now Todd, my son does it as he is sick of me asking.." how do you do this"... "and that"???



Sure looks good. Yes I will tidy my garage up now...

Bernie
