Custom Cobra ? We have paint !

[cobraman]

Not sure how wise of an idea this is or even if I can pull it off but let's give it a try. Not trying to build a better looking Cobra ( like that's even possible ) but rather just something a bit different. Going to take a ton of work but going to see what happens. Corvette roof on a Cobra ? Is that even legal ? : )

Should be cool! Boattail Daytona Coupe!

[charliechaindrive]

This will be neat!!

[BIGTRUCK]

Nothing better than a neat custom and new ideas, go Cobraman..

[aurfalien]

Wow tahts killer man, I love custom stuff.

[wayne swayze]

Now that's totally illegal Ray, but that's why you should do it! No one will get hurt either. That's a great idea!

[vintagercr]

This will be cool!

[afx]

Yes you certainly are going in another direction will your hardtop conversion Ray.  I'll be watching.

[aurfalien]

Hey, mebbe chop the top it a bit.  Might be even more cool.

[cobraman]

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I think I will have my hands full without trying to chop the top. : )

[MeatMan]

Great potential!!

[Stingray wes]

I'm digging this Ray, tuned in!

[bobthehobbyguy]

Cool. This is going to be good. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this one.

[Miatatom]

Clever!

[Mike Kucaba]

Go for it Ray! Call it a TOP SECRET concept COBRA!

[DRIPTROIT 71]

This I've gotta see!!!!

[cobraman]

Thank you, thank you !  Did some cutting today. As the old song says...... It's too late to turn back now. : )

[Foxer]

Glad to see you going ahead with this.. you have enough stock Cobras to satiate your needs!

 

I hope you're going to carry the boat tail downwards and not do a Daytona chop .. eheh.

[cobraman]

It will have the boat tail. Hopefully. : )

[1930fordpickup]

What if you curved the boat tail down the back of the car so as to not lose  the feature but not make the car longer?  Pie cut the top at the back so that you can bend it down?

Just a thought Ray. I will stop meddling in your cool project now.  

[cobraman]

Andy, I always welcome ideas. Sometimes I even use them . : )

[Scale-Master]

I like the idea and am curious to see how you reconcile the fit of the rear.

[cobraman]

I have made some more progress on this. I have the first round of putty done but as you can see I have more to do. I was not sure what to do with the back end. Good or bad I finally decided to cut and section the front of a 40 Ford hood and attach that to the bottom to form sort of a stinger. Not sure if this was the best way to handle it but I could not think of anything better.

[BIGTRUCK]

Thats one way to do it, pretty clever solution

[Foxer]

Using a piece of 40 Ford nose looks to be a good solution to get the form there.
