Monogram 1/32 Cooper Cobra

This is another original car that I had for many years and installed one of the re-issued bodies on it. Once again the front mount needed to be shortened to fit onto the brass kit chassis. The new interior is also deeper than the original so removed the whole interior tray and replaced it with a a piece of black poster board, rather simple really. Then I trimmed the driver figure and glues him to the poster board with the steering wheel, I don't think it looks too bad. Of course I had to replace the hard rear tires, with some Ortmann identical replacements rear tires. Otherwise the chassis is all original and runs fine even with the original metal crown gear - I need to order some Cox nylon gears for all of these vintage Monogram cars. Overall a great looking and running scale model slot car.
