very nice Wyatt, good choice, and a Merry Christmas to AC, as everyone knows, he'll just love this pic of the week.

to bad you can't have background music, a little "hey little Cobra" would go perfectly with this pic

I am a little short on Cobras, just have the Street Freaks issue, the patriotic American Stars and Stripes one, its nice too

One of my favorite castings!

Back in 1981 I had a white '69 GTO Judge that I was showing in the Iola carshow. The Pontiac guys were stacking up pretty close to the Furd guys, and there was a 427 Cobra pretty much right next to my car only a chalkline away. The Furd guys and the Poncho guys were kind of trading barbs back and forth, and a guy with an Orbit orange Judge next to mine was bickering with the Cobra owner. The owner of the Cobra told him to hop over and he could sit in a REAL car. The Orange Judge owner muttered something under his breath, and I jumped over the line and hopped into the Cobra. They are pretty rough in person, and this was not a coupe thingy...but man what a sports car. I never equated them with muscle cars...more of a factory race car. It was pretty awesome.

Interesting tone of red on the one on the left. It looks like a brick red. Or is that just the lighting?
Nice work sir!!!

Thank you Wyatt for choosing this particular casting for The Picture Of The Week.
I love it.
And thanks CenterShock for the additional images.
This is one casting that I never get tired of seeing.

And a note to Nick:
Do you think that you can dig up an image or two of that totally fabulous BWF Shelby Cobra Daytona that you did about a year ago.
We may have to start a very serious campaign to get Tom Z to think about actually making it.
That would be to die for, well almost.

P.S. I will post some additional images as time permits.

Cheers. Cobra

It's nice to see one of the Johnnies I have make it to 'Picture Day'.


Thanks Wyatt (...and for the Daytona family photo, lol)

The Daytona is one of my favorite 1:1's. I don't know what it is about them... maybe the curves, or maybe it's the unusual rear end. I don't know, but I do know that they are near the top of my top10 list of all time.

I also have a 'HW' casting... and... I'll just leave it at that, lol. I will definitely be picking up every release of this lil' Johnny!!!

Well, we are half way there now that they made a black version! Now just dust off the old pads from the Fest car and BAM!

Here are the old air brush pic I did....

And a couple Photoshop variants...
