Thanks!
The AP decal is adhesive vinyl ON static cling! I put them together.
The whole set up is a mixed:
The meatballs, Good Year, and Autolite are static cling.
The AP, Valvoline, Shell, STP, Ford, and Lucas are all adhesive vinyl on static cling. This means they are "regular" adhesive decals that I apply to a sheet of static cling and then trim.
I have been adding and subtracting decals to find a good look.
The problem with the vinyl-on-cling ones is that not all of them stay on. I've lost a few while driving. So I ended back to the store where I got the vinyl adhesive decals, and, as it turned out, you can order your decals in either adhesive vinyl OR static cling!! I was not aware of this at the beginning, so some money was wasted. Live and learn (and read the small print, for the company does mention this on their webpage, albeit in small letters).
It seems the easiest way of doing it is to buy the vinyl adhesive decals, put them on, and be done with it. This being my first car, i was weary of placing "permanent" adhesive decals on the paint. Plus even though I think my decals will stay on forever (I like the racing theme), I guess I do like the option of easily removing them ad lib.

Thanks Hector, I like the ability of taking them off and on. My wife is not a fan of them. I will stay with static cling. I have only lost one meatball on the road. It was my fault in not getting all the fine bubbles out. I have seen others do the adhesive on static process. Who did you purchase them from. I would like to find someone who offers them all in static cling.Internet co. ? Your look is super....I have only seen the Telelingua in adhesive form.

CSX4017, The only decal my wife likes is the STP one. Those happened to be her initials:roll eyes: I don't think she cares about the other ones...
Check out Racelinedigital.com They have the decals in both vinyl adhesive AND /OR the static cling (I just found out).
If you need static cling SHEETS, you can get them from meatballsplus.com (again, I did not have good luck with this approach)
Have fun!
Hector

Cobra427, thank you. It is indeed a roll bar by Olthoff. He did a great job. It is pretty solid. The only thing I do not like is that there are no protective grommets or bezels for the oval holes in the rear...
Cheers!

Indeed, Lowe's or Home Depot, etc.
Regards to you and Nick!

Oh, and for the pilot/co-pilot names I found two sources: redrockdecals.com and pegasusautoracing.com. For custom stuff like the "Shake 'n Bake!" and the roundels go to Squierdesign.com

Tutosnake,
I really like the look of your wheel wing nuts. Are they steel or aluminium? Where did you get them from?
Thanks

Thanks Hector! I've never had an engine with a 2x4 set-up and actually never gave it a thought until Dwight made the suggestion after I bought the Side Oiler last year. Now, I can't imagine completing the Cobra w/out it. |

Here's an update on this thread:
There aren't too many CSX 6000's painted red and navy blue stripes with gold FIA wheels, so looks like Hector is selling his car for $162,500 or best offer on Cobra Country
