AC Cobra Miniture Kids Car

We are currently doing up this AC Cobra shell. It is kid sized and it has been quite a task. The shell is a fiber glass mould~we own the mould and have the ability to make more if necessary. We have done the striping ourselves using white and chrome vinyl (purchased from Decrastrip by the roll). We are at the moment looking for old gauges to mount into the dashboard. We also have a grill that we are wanting to attach to add a more realistic look to it. Still deciding whether to do a chrome trim around the wheel arches ?? Will keep you posted !

A little history lesson on the car itself
The AC Cobra, also known colloquially as the Shelby Cobra in North America, is an Anglo-American sports car that was produced during the 1960s.

  1. Probably a long shot but I don't suppose you would consider selling a shell made from your mould? I have a 'grown up' Gardner Douglas and am planning to build an electric car for my daughter (only 10 months old at the moment, but my projects tend to take time!). I am desperate to build her a Cobra to have next to Daddies in the garage! I am finding it impossible to get one. Just thought I'd ask!
