Paint Job
Andrew,
That is a very impressive paint job. I would have to say that it looks better than an original ... if that is possible... So, if it is better than an original is it still called a Replica??? Or is it called something else??? And can it be entered on a register that continues the tradition of the Cobra Brand...???:LOL: |
Thanks for your comments boys - however I would be embarresed to think that you thought it was anything too special. While I have tried to do something a little different, there are far too many flaws in the final finish to consider it worthy of too much hoo haa. :)
A few comments on the CR shape - while it is definately a taller body then an original - I REALLY like the shape - I think the slightly chunky look really works IMHO - so while not spot on to the original, it is a very pleasing shape to me. The interior will be pretty traditional look - black leather and carpet, low back seats etc. With just a few nicer touches as not to stray too far from an original look. Shold get the dash done in the next couple of weeks so I can tidy up the wiring and start it up again. Been about 6 months of silence now.....:) Cheers |

Andrew car looks great youve done a real fantastic job and you should be proud no matter that it runs a dirty chev, top job andy |
deja vu all over again
Didn't we just have a standing start showdown at ShelbyFest?
As I recall in the final there were: 3 of those trick light-weight CR's with those all-alloy efi ground pounding Chev motors up to 383ci vs. 2 dodgy old iron block fords, a nice robnell with a 281ci and wobbly old RMC with reco'd 302.... :p -> oh-yeah very nice job on the CR - I think you've done amazing things with that paint LoBelly |
I got it out in the sun today and took a little (poor quality) vid of the car from some different angles:
|
Looks just fine to me. :)
Looks bootiful :JEKYLHYDE |
Well done Andrew, looks fantastic.
|
Looks very good and you won't have to polish it!

Not everyone gets it - neighbour came up today and said "it looks good....what colour you painting it?" :LOL:
|
Thanks for posting the video
That paint effect is quite something - but it sounds like a lot of effort Would you do it again? LoBelly |

One thing about it I do like is that I dont have to be precious about the finish - drop something on it or scratch it and provided its not too deep you just scotchbrite it back :) |
Flat Clear
My dash is the same colour as the the body but to avoid glare the dash was sprayed with a flat clear rather than gloss as per body.
Maybe that would be a good cover once you are happy with your finish of the stripes etc. and it might maintain the finish you want. Leeroy |
