Re: Conley cobra project
went into the garage to get some things done and got distracted by this car again. Ended up doing a few details.

Re: Conley cobra project
side pipes come standard with the car. The vents were tricky. Basically thin stainless steel, cut to size notched, with the edges bent at a n angle and glued in. Each one needs to be layed in by hand. There is a little adjustment room with the metal because its so thin.

Re: Conley cobra project
Sorry, there is no way in hell i could afford to drive that thing. The idea of smashing it up makes my balls hurt. That would be a more expensive mistake then crashing my full size car...

Re: Conley cobra project
Here he is today! I had it painted with the same exact colors as my full size cobra. Today though, I finally scored an engine with the stacks on it. So I pulled the engine with blower out and threw in this bad boy. Finally the correct engine!!!
