drpndstroy Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 While work on my AMT Model T project is going well it has been eating me alive thinking about getting started on my 1:1 Fox Mustang LX with most of my inspiration coming from Frankenstang. I won't waste any time with fluff or reason right this second. The three kits I'll be bashing together to get my coupe done since quarter windows seem to be the biggest problem areas for most resin bodies i simply went outside and blueprinted my quarter windows sketched out on some styrene sheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Mike Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Got any pics of Frankenstang so we know what you're shooting for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drpndstroy Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 doesn't look like much but I'm taking every precaution to make sure this thing is perfect, so only one quarter window in progress but it's darn good progress in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuderia Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thats pretty awesome. I've started to really fancy the Fox chassis in recent months. I'll be following this closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abell82 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) A word of warning. The reason that many people have problems with the quarter windows, is that the quarter windows on the cobra are "off" themselves. Look at where the bottom of the left side is as compared to the right side. They are off 1mm right from the start.

drpndstroy Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) WOW i didn't even notice that lol. so what is the answer for that? do i lower that mm difference on the bottom of the window or just try to hide it in my fabrication stage? what did you do to compensate on frankenstang there abelle?

Abell82 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I removed everything but the front and replaced the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
