nhra1625 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Honestly, I would go the x275 route or outlaw drag radial. Don't see those too often and it would be totally bad ass to see one from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Racer Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Honestly, I would go the x275 route or outlaw drag radial. Don't see those too often and it would be totally bad ass to see one from you I like that idea as well. This build I'm certain is gonna be stellar no matter what he does with it. I'll be watching it closely and maybe just learn something new to help me get my modeling skills up to amateur. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red rocket 10 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Tyrone the Stang is looking killer man , keep up the outstanding work ! Leonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hey Tyrone, Your subframe connectors and other bracing in the floor pan look great. I like how you actually cut your connectors into the floor. Did you do the same thing with the diagonal connectors? I can't tell for sure about them. Also, how do you make the bends in your roll cage tubing to be so crisp, i.e., what is the process you follow to make them that sharp? She's going together well, my friend...

shucky Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Coming along really nice Tyrone! I love what you did underneath .. very cool. Tuned in for more updates. Keep up the outstanding work on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Racer Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) There's a group on facebook, that is doing these outlaw LX builds, so I decided to join in with them Hey Tyrone... what group if you don't mind me asking. Would love to take a look at what they got there as well. Also, what size tubing are you using for the major bars in the cage as well as the smaller cross bars??? The larger main ones look like .080. Lastly, was gonna cruze through your Photobucket album but the link is not directing me to it.

tyrone Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 thanks for the nce commets fellas... I really appreciate it... Leonard..... thanks for checking in.. I appreciate the input... Scott... thanks bro... I thought it would be cool to make those cuts in the chassis instead of just gluing them on top of floor.... as far as bending the styrene rod.. I use a lighter at times for some of my bends on others I bend the rod slowly and carefully by hand and then hit it with just a little heat from a lighter so that it keeps it's shape.. Mike.... thanks alot for checking in .... glad you like it... Michael.... I use evergreen .062 rod I think it's #221 for most of the bars... I've made a little bit of progress.. I've added some bars to the front of the car.. and decided to use the 8.8 ford rear end I'm gonna try to brace it up and make some shock mounts and brackets for it... here's a few pics... this is close to the ride height I'm after.....

Johnny1973 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 From the looks of the Camaro in the background thats half built I can only imagine both Mustang and the Camaro are going to look like when finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waddellsbodyshop Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hey tyrone what tires are you using on the rear. Ive looking for a small tire such as a 10.5 slick or even radials but from what i understand people are having problems with getting radials. Those are what i really want and need about 8 or 10 pairs for some of my projects but they are all on hold they i can figure out my tire issues. Hopefully someone out there can help me out with either resin or 3d printed ones. Your build is looking awesome though. I love watching all your builds. Hopefully one day ill be able to get as good as you and some of these other great builders on here. Have a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurattraction Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 She's looking outstanding, Tyrone! I haven't looked at the rules for this class, but I'm assuming tubular K-members are legal for it (given all the other allowable mods). I trust you'll be showing off your skills by adding one of those to the front end.?.?.? Keep it up, bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris... the tires and wheels are from the first issue of the pro-stock cutlass kits.... Warren Johnson and Larry Morgan kits.... I sanded the raised letters off... Scott... I'm gonna try and make a K-member for the front end... I've been having a tough time trying to find some good pics of the front suspension or the rear end set ups on these little beasts....

Gipper Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Great work. How do you manage to have so many projects going at any given time. Especially the level of detail you manage to put into your projects. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waddellsbodyshop Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Cool i had forgotten all about those kits. I wish i could find someone that offered some in resin or something. Im loving the build though. Cant wait to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I suspect you've already googled and come up with pics, but here's one of the D&D Motorsports tubular K-member for a Mustang. There can't be tons of difference between different manufacturers, so at least this may be a starting point. I may have some pics on a different computer at home of my tubular k-member if you want/need to see different angles. I'm pretty sure I've got pics... http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=DD7993102+01 and pics of a couple of HP Motorsports' lower control arm kits http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/hpm-megabite-vs-megabite-jr-lower-control-arms.413003/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry4ns302 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I'd love to build a drag radial foxbody! Would you have any idea where I can get my hands on a cowl hood? I have an '84 1:1 that I've been looking to build a replica for some time. I've been hoarding the '83 convertible kits, but I can't find a cowl hood or ET Streets, I don't have facebook, but I'd love to get in on the lx race car thing.

tyrone Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the nice words of encouragment fellas... I really appreciate it... Ryan I usually make my own cowl hoods.. I'll be making one for this one also... well I made a front k-member and control arms from styrene rod ...I'm real happy wiith how they turned out... I modified the front struts from the pro stock cutlass kit, by making them longer... I made the rear wing. I decided to open the trunk, and I've started on the trunk floor and added some bracing and brackets to the rear end... thanks for looking and comments welcome....
