Hey All,

I have recently purchased a 1/18 scale 03 Cobra convertible. It is silver metallic and I have realized that I have an extra one.

I want to paint it and then sell it on eBay. So, I'm wondering what color I should paint it that "may" open the auction up to the most amount of possible customers.

Therefore, if you wanted this diecast car, what color would you prefer it to be?

Okay guys, Here is the start of my next Cobra projects. I didn't get much done this weekend due to Mother's Day. However, I got the cars disassembled and I stripped the cars down to bare metal on Saturday.

Here's the list:

@SVT-04 = Satin Silver Coupe
@Recon = Mineral Gray Coupe
@Grady = Screaming Yellow Vert

I'm hoping to get the cars in primer and "possibly" in base coat this coming up weekend depends mainly on the weather. If it's warm and NOT windy I should be able to accomplish this.

Here they are in their bare metal glory.

Here are my latest Muscle Machines. An old school 55 Nomad and a 66 GTO Muscle Car. These went together quick because all I did was upgrade the wheels and tires.

All my Muscle Machines are currently listed on Ebay (Minus the Budweiser truck, as my dad wanted it, and the Nomad as it already sold), so if you know anyone who wants the remaining Muscle Machines they are up for grabs. Thank you!

Okay, got the Satin Silver and MG base coats applied to a couple coupes this weekend. Also, started on a dark insert and a parchment insert interiors this weekend also. No pictures of that work yet.

Here are some pictures of the engine compartment of the Satin Silver Cobra. This is still not finished either. Have a few more things to add under here.

Okay guys got 3 cars in base coat clear coat (MG, SY and SS (Satin Silver)). The 4th car is in base coat only (RF) as I'm waiting on a personal plate and will clear coat it after the plate is installed.

It's like TK1299 said before "It's like the Terminator is back in production" LOL.

This RF is in base coat only (Which is why it is not as shiny as the others).

Came across this on Facebook. Thought it was pretty cool and didn’t even know they existed. Did anyone else know about these?

Hello Corbin!! Yes, I have seen those and they are very rare. Thus people think they are worth big bucks. There's a guy on ebay right now selling one. He's asking $400............. Crazy..... Unless you're into originality I can build a SY coupe for less than that and the paint job will be better than Maisto :D........LOL.

It looks like you're staying busy. @Recon will love the finished product. I have an attachment to Mineral Grey.

Yes sir and I'm very appreciative for that. People here have been very kind to me and I'm thankful. I'm almost done with @Recon car. It is coming out really well. I should have it done this weekend and ready to ship early next week. The SY "should" be completed this weekend as well. The SS coupe will probably take a little longer as the owner wants a lot of detail work, but that one is coming out really cool too.

I will most likely post pics of the work I do this weekend on Monday.

I also have a couple more requests coming down the pike. So stay tuned!!!

Here is the SS coupe. I really like the details the SVT member asked for. When members make these requests it makes me have to step my game up LOL. This one is NOT completely finished yet. I still need to paint the inserts of the wheels. But, wanted to post up some pictures of it thus far.
