Gulp.Ashamed [*^_^*] Guess I better take my car out of the '50s build. Mine looks like it came from the bottom of the junkyard pile. Wow. That chassis looks ---------------can't find the words. I can see where I need a LOT of practice. Can't wait to see the finished car.Bow [bow]Bow [bow]

Navypitsnipe, the revell kit includes the full sized windsheild as well as a couple other optional parts. They don't show it on the box, but it's there!

Thanks for the comments guys!

  looks really good, i have a few engines that i wired the correct firing order on, but most of the time i'm stressed out and don't have the patience to do it. i've seen the cobra kit but i want to build a street cobra with a 427 but don't want to deal with the hassle of modifications. Does anyone know of a kit with the big block AND the full sized windshield? any help would be great.

And I gave you an out on the firing order! You could have claimed not enough wire, which is how I explain it on the 66 GTO I'm building. Whistling [:-^]

I've picked up a ProTech pre-wired distributer that does have enough wire, and will be sure to get the firing order correct, on my next engine, a 396ci for 65 Impala SS that's waiting on my build table. 

 

So long folks!

This was a Parts by Parks distributor... they gave me a TON of wire. But I kinda chickened out on the proper firing order... I guess I wasnt sure how everything would fitDead [xx(]

Looking good Max!

Those prewired distribs sure make it easy to wire. I find some of them are too short, though. Don't allow you to wire the proper firing order.

So long folks!

Hey gang, normally I hang out in the Aircraft section, but little do they know I'm a motor-head! This is Revell's Shelby Cobra. I've added a prewired distributor and scratch-built shocks and springs. Hope you enjoy!
