Maindrian Pace Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 It's a little Photoshop fun someone had, but I think it looks great as a custom Fox Rod. -AZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsnake98 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Wow that 2016 looks pretty darn clean with the belt moldings and the molding rails gone from the side of the body, don't know about the 03-04 style front bumper treatment though. Cool pic though thanks for sharing. On another note, I had the body in tamiya white primer, shot down duplicolor Oxford white today, and a horrible reaction took place over most of the body and the hood. So in the purple pond it'll go. I'll most likely just go with the tamiya white primer again, then use tamiya standard white, it'll be close enough to oxford, then clear coated of course.

Devilsnake98 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Got an update on my lx. Ive had the body in the purple pond for 5 days now, and it will not pull the duplicolor off of the body, pulled it off of the resin hood, but not the styrene, oh well. I have my body replacement and couldn't be happier. It is the corrected resin body by Mike Schnur and Greg Wann, it is sweet too. Ive only sanded off the 5.0 badges from the fenders, that should be the only mods ill do to this body. Also, ive been working on the exhaust, scratch built a no cat x pipe from .100" or 2.5mm (2.5") styrene rod and heating up the bends with a solder iron. And took the kit mufflers, sanded away the beads on either end of the muffler body, added the inlet and outlet couplers to the mufflers, added faux weld seams using CA glue on a toothpick, tried making them look like Magnaflow mufflers, also used the ball flanges from the kit exhaust, and bent intermediate pipes from the mufflers to the ball flanges. Now the fun part, building the tailpipes. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsnake98 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 One more update for now. I figured out an easy way to do the tailpipes, modify and existing set. I used the tailpipes from the Saleen speedster kit, they are the same 2.5mm (2.5") as the rest of the exhaust and I liked the tips they had. Just had to cut down the pipe in front of the axle, and where it connects to the muffler. Anyway, a couple pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsnake98 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Got some more done on the notch. Got the exhaust painted and ready to install (will install after body is on for good), used standard testors silver spray paint, brush painted the mufflers steel, used graphite metallic on a toothpick for the welds on the mufflers, and duplicolor chrome for the tips. I have the plug wires painted and installed on the engine, red painted coil packs to represent MSD Also been working on the interior, this is a engine swapped car so the factory gauges wouldn't work. I made a new gauge panel with .020" sheet styrene painted black, used Slixx gauge decals, Detail master gauge bezels attached with a healthy coat of clear enamel. Made a simple looking double din style radio to replace the factory unit out of sheet styrene for the radio housing and the screen, and styrene rod for the knobs. The dash painted with tamiya semi gloss black, custom steering wheel painted to mimic a suead grip, radio painted in gray and black to stand out a little from the all black, and all vent and control knobs painted gloss black with a toothpick. Had to lose the hand crank window cranks too, sanded them off, and filled the grips in the inner door handles. Door panels painted semi gloss black, carpeted areas below the handles flocked with black flocking, and the power window and lock switches painted on the door handles with a toothpick and gloss black.

Devilsnake98 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 a little more, I used a set of seats from the 08 Bullitt Mustang kit, painted tamiya mat black, detail painted the knobs on the sides of the seats with gloss black. And finally, changed the shift knob with one from my parts stash, a simple round shift knob, also deleated the console mounted armrest.

Devilsnake98 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) It is a 96-98 era cobra motor, 305 hp stock. I'm kind of partial to them, I had a 98 cobra coupe, i loved that car.

freakshow12 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Turning out great. I as well have a 97 cobra vert but it makes a fair bit more than the factory rating.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsnake98 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) And I thought mine was fun with 445 rwhp, 600+ would be awesome in a sn chassis. Edited October 17, 2014 by Devilsnake98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova-ss Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Good looking build.you said you added depth to the rear rims? Did you do the same to the same to the front rims as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsnake98 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 The front rims are Un-modified, right out of the 08 bullitt mustang kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Looks great, I like the seats and the instrument cluster. The power window conversion is easy on these, eh? -MJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eye4Detail78 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 This is a great build and cant wait to see the final product. Dash is awesome! Nice gauges!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsnake98 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Got my interior done over the last couple of days. Started with a rear seat delete made from .040" styrene sheet. Got the floor flocked Finshed the console Removed the brake booster from the firewall, smoothed it out and painted it body color. Then dug out a SN style hydro-boost brake assist, mounted it to the firewall, and added the master cylinder. This is to clear the DOHC motor. Then finally assembled the complete interior. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That looks great. I had those seats plus the matching rear in mine but thought the headrests looked too close to the roof ( no roof jokes please) did you cut yours down at the bottom at all?
