1965 Revell Shelby Cobra 427- WIP

Man you are SMOKIN through this build Johnny!!! Love all the details too. Those M.A.D distributors are the bee's knees!! I've got half a dozen of 'em in the stash and they work PERFECT. I used to take the time to drill holes in OOB distributors but the heck with that!!! 

Looking forward to more on this beauty.

 

Over that past two days I added the decals.

It's time to install the windshield, but it is designed so that two little bumps (red arrows) are supposed to be glued into two little indents on the windshield (yellow arrows). How long before the windshield is knocked off of the body? I think that I will need to drill holes into the posts of the windshield and glue steel pins into the holes. The pins will be glued into holes that will need to be drilled into the body.

I haven't seen a Cobra in those colors before, Gulf stream. Very cool. It really looks good like that.

I drilled holes in the windshield frame and superglued wires into the holes. The wires will be superglued into the holes that were previously drilled into the fenders of the model

Yup. I pin all stuff like this to include outside rearview mirrors on alot of my builds. Too easy to get knocked off without 'em.

Progress is looking great Johnny.

You should have noted this when looking over the model and test fitting before building!

He did, just two posts above that one...which is why he drilled the holes and added the wires.
