| Shelby Cobra 427 I always liked the lines of the original Shelby. This model was built out of the box from the recent Revell release. On the model kit, there is a rectangular 'box' surrounding the carburetor that is very thick. On the real car, this is a sheet metal piece so I thinned it down using a Dremel tool after stripping the chrome off.
